New York Red Bulls v Columbus Crew

Sunday, May 26th

Red Bull Arena, 17:00 EDT

Setting the Scene:

New York:

It's six games since a loss now for the New York Red Bulls.

They have only conceded two or more goals three times this season so far.

But they have also only kept three clean sheets.

Columbus:

The Crew have only kept three clean sheets so far this season.

It's now 5 games since the Columbus Crew ties a game.

Fever Hot Spot: considering the above, the 10/11 available on both teams scoring makes a lot of sense, courtesy of your friendly neighborhood

  

Last time out:  Tim Cahill scores in stoppage time to give the Bulls a vital 1-0 win over LA Galaxy. Today, a 1-0 Red Bulls victory can be backed at 6/1 with your friendly neighborhood

 

 

 

New York sit proudly on top of the Eastern Conference, a point ahead of the Montreal Impact. They have won five of their last six and tied the other: impressive.

That's the good news.

The not-so-good news is that they have played three games more, and today meet a determined Columbus Crew coming in off a win themselves, albeit over a lamentable Toronto FC. But a win is a win, and the Crew will be hopeful of getting back into the playoff places by pulling off a shock result here.

Fever Hot Spot: should you fancy the Columbus Crew with a one goal start, you can still get a very tasty 6/5 with 

Since arriving from Everton, the Red Bulls'midfield dynamo Tim Cahill has been in outstanding form, scoring vitally important goals; none more so than last week's stoppage time winner against fierce west coast rivals the LA Galaxy. 

Fever Hot Spot: The Australian is still a top, top player, and can be backed at 7/1 to score the opening goal this afternoon with 

 

The Red Bulls' performance against New York was not without its scary moments - check out Robby Keane's free kick below for a perfect example - New York really rode their luck on occasions. But the team ethic is well and truly alive and well in the Big Apple. Maybe it's the news that they will soon be playing local clashes with New York City FC, but things are falling the Bulls' way right now.
