Minnesota vs New York Red Bulls Prediction and Betting Tips | March 11th 2023

Minnesota host the New York Red Bulls at Allianz Field in the MLS on Saturday, with both sides having contrasting starts to the season.

Minnesota are currently fifth in the Western Conference, having won their opening game of the season 1-0 against Dallas. Adrian Heath's side will look to continue their strong start to the season with a win against New York on Saturday.

The New York Red Bulls, on the other hand, are currently 12th in the Eastern conference and are yet to register their first league win this campaign. Gerhard Struber's side will be going into the game off the back of a 0-0 draw against Nashville last time out and will hope to turn things around with a win against Minnesota on the weekend.

Both sides will want to win the game for different reasons and that should make for an interesting matchup.
