Game Preview
Galaxy was better than Seattle Sounders in the West finals, though they’ve paid a huge price for that victory. Their top star and one of the guys who should be in the MLS MVP conversation, Riqui Puig, tore his ACL and won’t be able to play in the finals.
Puig led the way for the Galaxy this year, scoring 17 goals and 20 assists while playing 36 matches. He played through an injury in the second half and managed to set up a goal for Dejan Joveljic five minutes before the end, for 1-0 and a win.
The New York Red Bulls were written off before the playoffs due to their terrible form at the time. The team from the Big Apple rose to the occasion, turning the tables after the opening loss in the MLS playoffs and fighting its way through the finals.
In the previous four games, which they’ve all won, the Red Bulls have kept three clean sheets, and that’s mostly because of the Paraguayan goalkeeper Carlos Coronel, who made 18 saves in these three events.
Lineups News & Injuries
Besides Puig, Martin Caceres is out for the hosts.
Carnallo, Duncan and Mitchell are all out for this one.
LA Galaxy vs. NY Red Bulls Head to Head
The last three encounters between these two teams have been friendly ones, and in two, Galaxy won (including the most recent in February this year) while Bulls triumphed once.
LA Galaxy vs. NY Red Bulls Prediction
Knowing that Galaxy won’t have Puig and that the Bulls are on fire, being carried by a massive swing, we pick that the guests stay unbeaten during the regular 90 minutes. Sometimes, we see situations where everything falls into place for one team. That’s why we have the feeling that the NY Red Bulls won’t be on the losing side in this event.
- Galaxy vs. Red Bulls pick: Red Bulls or draw
