Game Preview

The Bulls lost the Hudson River derby to their local rivals, New York City FC, 2-0. This was the second of back-to-back losses for this unit, which was previously beaten in Nashville, 2-1.

The positive thing for Sandro Schwarz’s unit is that it has just one defeat at home since the campaign began. The Bulls have won four of the last five games at home, while just two of the last seven haven’t ended with both teams netting and over 2.5 hits.

Dallas suffered a defeat in the Texas Derby at home, falling at the hands of the Houston Dynamo, 0-2. Toros couldn’t use their chances, despite being better overall, so in the end, the guests took all three points from this MLS fixture.

The previous fixture on the road, FC Dallas played, was a humiliation against San Diego, 5-0. This was their first loss away from home this season, with Eric Quill’s guys delivering three ties and wins.

NY Red Bulls vs. FC Dallas Head to Head

The Bulls have the bragging rights because they won the previous encounter, 2-1. It was in March 2024. Overall, they haven’t lost an MLS game against Dallas since 2013.

NY Red Bulls vs. FC Dallas Predictions

The Bulls have been solid at home, but on the other side, so did Dallas do well on the road. Since both teams play games with plenty of goals, and struggle defensively, our pick here will be both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.

  • Free US Open pick: Over 2.5 goals & both teams to score
