FC Dallas v New York Red Bulls | Saturday 11th May 2019, 19:00

Dallas host the New York Red Bulls on Saturday night in a game that should be a great watch.

Dallas come into this unbeaten at home (W3-D2-L0). Their home form is the main reason that they’re sitting in fifth in the Western Conference. Away it’s been a bit more hit-and-miss with three defeats so this fixture is another chance for the hosts to keep that home record rolling by recording another three points.

The Red Bulls are having a poor campaign by their usual high standards. The Big Apple club start this weekend 10th in the Eastern Conference and have earned just the two points on the road; I don’t see how that will change this weekend as they head to Texas having W0-D2-L2 outside of New York.

I’ll keep this one brief as I’m fairly confident in the two picks I’ve selected; Dallas are solid at home and hosting a Red Bulls side that haven’t been firing at all this term, especially on the road. There's not many tougher places than Dallas to go in MLS and I anticipate an easy Dallas victory.

As a journalism student consumed by sports on a daily basis, being paid to write about them would be the dream upon graduating (assuming I don’t get scouted last minute to play for Barcelona). I’m Scottish born and proudly support the national team, as well as Chelsea and the Chicago Bears. My family are all massive Rangers fans - regardless of what division they wake up in. I’ve started using statistics and data to make selections, rather than my gut. American Football is what I specialise in, and thankfully for me, it is a massively data-driven sport. Everything from pass completion to weather forecasts are taken into account. My love for numbers comes from my interest in poker. I play regularly online and at casinos, and every decision made requires thought into percentages and odds. Although there is an element of luck, it showed me that grasping an understanding of mathematics could prove to be very profitable.
