New York Red Bulls and St. Louis City SC meet on Wednesday night at Sports Illustrated Stadium in a matchup that lands in the middle of the September/October international window. The match was originally scheduled for Saturday before being postponed due to inclement weather and rescheduled for Wednesday at the same 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff time.
New York enters at 9-6-11 with 33 points and sits eighth in the Eastern Conference, right in the middle of a crowded playoff race. The Red Bulls have helped their cause with back-to-back 1-0 wins over Columbus and New York City FC, but they will have to navigate this matchup with several players away on international duty.
St. Louis has put itself in a much stronger position in the Western Conference at 12-8-6 with 44 points. The club sits fifth in the West and has not lost an MLS match since May, bringing a 16-match unbeaten streak into Harrison.
The international window will also affect the visitors, with Damion Downs away with the U.S. Men’s National Team. New York has been hit harder, with 10 players called up across the current window, including Julian Hall and Adri Mehmeti, who recently made their senior USMNT debuts.

New York Red Bulls vs. St. Louis City SC Best Bet
Over 3.5 Goals (+110): Each of St. Louis’ last five league matches has finished with at least four total goals. City SC beat Toronto 3-1 and Minnesota 4-2 in its last two outings after a 2-2 draw at Portland, a 3-1 win at Vancouver and a 3-3 draw against Dallas.
New York’s recent results have looked very different, with consecutive 1-0 wins, but tonight’s circumstances are unusual. The Red Bulls are missing several regular contributors during the international window, while St. Louis arrives playing at a pace that has repeatedly produced fireworks.
With a few regulars missing from both lineups and St. Louis making a habit of getting into shootouts as of late, we’ll take the plus-money odds and back the trend to continue with over 3.5 goals in tonight’s match.
- Best Bet: New York/St. Louis Over 3.5 Goals (+110)
