New York Red Bulls
The Red Bulls were able to pick up an away win in their mid-week match with DC United. They are now 4th in the East and have 41 points. A win over their cross-town rivals would keep them in the conversation for the number 1 seed. They now have just 3 away wins on the season, so this game is sure to be an uphill battle.
The Red Bulls scored in the opening minutes against DC United, which really set the tone for the rest of the match. Wayne Rooney, a DC United player, was given a red card in the 24th minute, but New York was unable to take advantage until the 59th minute. The Red Bulls have scored a total of 9 goals in their last 5 away matches, so that makes me believe they can score here as well. The question is, will they have enough in the tank to score multiple times.

Defender, Amro Tarek was issued a red card against DC, so he will be suspended for this match. That does not bode well for the Red Bulls as they will have to resort to their back-ups. They allowed just 1 goal to NYCFC in their most recent meeting, but this was at Red Bulls Arena. If the Red Bulls are going to have a chance in this match, they need to hold NYCFC to just 1 goal.
New York City FC
NYCFC hung on in their mid-week match for an ugly 1-0 win over the Columbus Crew. They sit in 3rd in the East with 44 points. This is just 1 point behind first place Atlanta, so a win here could at the very least move them to 2nd place.

After NYCFC thumped FC Cincinnati 4-1 two games ago, they really struggled to get anything going against the Crew. Just one goal was scored out of the 19 shots taken. Now facing their New York rivals will be much tougher and they will need to score at least twice to ensure a win.
The defending has been solid for NYCFC over their past two games. They allowed just 1 goal to FC Cincinnati and then shut out the Columbus Crew. A big part of the shutout was Sean Johnson. He made 6 saves against the Crew and will need to be just as sharp to keep the Red Bulls from sweeping them this season.
Free New York Red Bulls vs. New York City FC MLS Prediction:
I think the Red Bulls will have trouble defending since one of their guys will be suspended for this match. That will allow NYCFC to score multiple times and come away with a win.
4* Free MLS Betting Pick: New York City FC -110
NYCFC will want to avenge their away loss to the Red Bulls back in July and that will give them the fight to grind out three points here at home.
