New York Red Bulls vs FC Dallas Prediction

Total Goals (O/U 1.5)

Over 1.5

With our prediction of 'Over 2.5 Goals' and a 1-2 scoreline, it is highly probable that there will be more than 1.5 goals in the match.

Total Goals (O/U 3.5)

Under 3.5

While we predict Over 2.5 goals, a 1-2 scoreline results in exactly 3 goals, falling under the 3.5 goal mark. Dallas's strong away defense makes a very high-scoring game less likely.

1st Half Goals (O/U 0.5)

FC Dallas has a more potent attack and better overall form, making them more likely to open the scoring against a somewhat vulnerable NYRB defense.

Goal in Both Halves

Yes

With a predicted score of 1-2 and both teams having shown the ability to score in various periods, it's reasonable to expect goals in both halves of the match.

Most Likely Score

1-2

This score aligns with our overall prediction of an FC Dallas win, with both teams scoring, reflecting NYRB's home scoring ability and Dallas's superior attack.

BTTS 1st Half

No

While both teams can score, it's less common for both to find the net within the first 45 minutes, especially given Dallas's solid defense. A single goal in the first half is more probable than both teams scoring.

xG Based (O/U 2.5)

Over 2.5 xG

Given the high average total goals in both teams' recent matches and their attacking capabilities, the game is expected to generate a combined xG (expected goals) total exceeding 2.5.

Draw No Bet

Away

Given our prediction for an FC Dallas win, backing them on a Draw No Bet market reduces risk, as the stake would be returned in case of a draw.

HT/FT

Draw/Away

We anticipate a tight first half, possibly ending in a draw, before FC Dallas's quality and attacking depth allow them to take control and secure the win in the second half.

Total Corners (O/U 9.5)

Over 9.5

MLS matches often feature open play and attacking intent, leading to a good number of corners. Both teams have decent attacking averages, suggesting multiple attempts on goal and clearances for corners.

Over 3.5

New York Red Bulls average 1.67 yellow cards per game (plus 1 red in 6 games), while FC Dallas averages 2.0 yellow cards per game. The combined average of 3.67 yellow cards per game already suggests a high likelihood of exceeding 3.5 cards, especially in a competitive MLS fixture.

Shots on Target (O/U 8.5)

Over 8.5

Given both teams' attacking averages (NYRB 1.5 GF/game, Dallas 2.3 GF/game) and the expectation of an open game, we anticipate a reasonable number of shots on target from both sides.

Over 22.5

With both teams having attacking capabilities and a predicted open game, we expect a decent volume of shots, both on and off target, contributing to an 'Over 22.5' total.

Over 22.5

MLS matches are often physical and competitive, leading to a higher number of fouls. This fixture between two teams vying for points is expected to be no different.
