In their last five games 8th placed Vancouver have scored 3 and conceded nine

 

Fever Hot Spot: the stats point towards the Red Bulls coping with a one goal handicap and still coming out on top. If you agree, look no further than

...who will give you a mouth-watering 7/5

 

Last time out: The Red Bulls defeat Reading AC 2-0 to advance to the fourth round of the MLS Open Cup.  

The Red Bulls' home tie with the Columbus Crew was a battle royal, and it could have been so much worse but for a late equalizer. The New York victory over the LA Galaxy was fortunate to say the least; LA dominating but losing to a late, late Tim Cahill header.

And yet, New York sit on top of the Eastern Conference, a two-point cushion over Montreal and a great chance to extend that lead with a visit to the Red Bull Arena from a stuttering Vancouver Whitecaps.

 

Fever Hot Spot: should you fancy New York to win to nil, the clean sheet option can be backed at an eye-catching 17/10 with

It's been a torrid year so far for Vancouver, having only won three times so far.

That said their penultimate game was an impressive 3-1 win over the LA Galaxy, followed up by a hard-fought 2-2 at home to an improving Portland Timbers. A shock victory at New York could move the Caps as high as sixth, and with a goal difference of -2 you feel that there is more to come from the visitors as the season progresses.

But this particular game? It's gonna be tough...

 

Fever Hot Spot: Should you believe that a shock result is within Vancouver's grasp, you can have plus one goal at an extremely back-able 7/5 with
