07/18/2025 1131

New York Red Bulls have a score to settle as Inter Miami CF make the trip to Red Bull Arena. The previous encounter left the Red Bulls with a heavy defeat, but their home form paints a promising picture this time around.

Previous Encounter

Back in early May, Inter Miami CF hosted New York Red Bulls and secured a convincing 4-1 victory. Though Miami scored four from their twelve attempts, the Red Bulls managed ten shots but only two on target. Ball possession was quite balanced with Miami at 53 percent and the Red Bulls at 47 percent.

Despite managing just twelve dangerous attacks to New York's thirty-six, Miami converted nearly every clear chance. Goals for Miami came from Fafà Picault, Marcelo Weigandt, Luis Suárez, Jean-Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, and Lionel Messi. New York found the net in the ninth minute but then allowed four unanswered strikes, exposing defensive vulnerabilities.

Recent Form

New York Red Bulls have experienced mixed results in their last six matches, with just one win, three draws, and two losses. They averaged 1.5 goals per game but conceded nearly two. Interestingly, their last three home fixtures have seen a surge in both attack and possession, with two victories and a draw and an average of three goals scored per match.

Inter Miami have claimed three wins out of their last six league outings, balancing one draw and two losses. Their scoring rate of 1.67 is slightly stronger than New York's recent output, but they have been prone to conceding, allowing two per match in that sequence.

Overall Performance

With twenty-three matches played, the Red Bulls stand eighth in the East, boasting nine wins and a solid positive goal difference of plus-eight. Their tally of thirty-eight goals for and thirty against highlights a team that can create but has periods of vulnerability.

Inter Miami are fifth, with an impressive eleven wins in just twenty matches. The visitors have found the net forty-four times and maintain a plus-eleven goal difference, showing a sharper edge in attack than their hosts. Their away record reflects resilience, picking up results in hostile environments.

Main Trends

The Red Bulls have not lost in eleven of their last twelve home matches across all competitions and have won three of their last five home games against Inter Miami CF. Draws have become frequent, with three in their last six league matches. In terms of scoring threats, their home matches regularly see them produce over five shots on target, underlining their offensive intent at Red Bull Arena.

Inter Miami have won six of their last twelve away in all competitions while remaining undefeated in nine of their last eleven overall. They have netted regularly but are less dominant on the ball, averaging just over a third in possession during away games. Their historical away results indicate a disciplined unit that frustrates hosts and capitalizes on counter attacks.

Probable Lineups

With injuries and international call-ups affecting both sides, each manager will need to make adjustments. For the Red Bulls, Marcelo Morales and Dylan Nealis miss out, most likely prompting a 4-2-3-1 formation:

New York Red Bulls Probable XI: Carlos Coronel (G); Kyle Duncan, Sean Nealis, Noah Eile, Omar Valencia (D); Daniel Edelman, Ronald Donkor (M); Mohammed Sofo, Emil Forsberg, Wikelman Carmona (M); Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (A).

Inter Miami will be without David Ruíz, Drake Callender, Gonzalo Luján, Fafà Picault, and Yannick Bright. They look set to continue with their favored 4-4-2:

Inter Miami CF Probable XI: Óscar Ustari (G); Marcelo Weigandt, Maximiliano Falcón, Tomás Avilés, Jordi Alba (D); Tadeo Allende, Benjamin Cremaschi, Sergio Busquets, Telasco Segovia (M); Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez (A).

Prediction

While Inter Miami carry more firepower and a superior overall goal record, the Red Bulls have lost only once at home in their last twelve. Their streak of eleven home matches without defeat in all competitions underlines their fortress-like status in Harrison.

With key players unavailable for Miami and the Red Bulls looking to respond after the recent heavy loss, the probability leans in favor of a Red Bulls victory at 43%. The likely outcome is a home win, potentially by a two-goal margin.
