NextGOAL tip: New York RB -0.25 · 3 stars
New York RB and Toronto meet in MLS, with the hosts sitting 8th and the visitors following in 11th, just three points apart. Both still need points to climb the table, so it is a game where both sides want a positive result just as much. New York RB just won 1-0 in their last match, but before that they had both a heavy defeat and a game where they scored as many as four goals. Overall they are a team whose results swing, but when they win they usually win by controlling the score. As for Toronto, they just drew 3-3 at home in an entertaining game, but the three matches before that were all defeats with goals conceded in each. Their defence is the unsettled part, while their attack still creates goals consistently. The pattern should be the hosts seeing more of the ball and being the side pushing forward, because Toronto clearly have less possession over their last ten games and are more comfortable waiting to counter. If New York RB take the lead first, the game will suit the hosts even more, since they are good at managing the situation. But if the visitors score first, this could turn into a game that has to be sweated out until the closing stages.
