New York Red Bulls vs Juarez Prediction and Betting Tips

New York Red Bulls will host Juarez at the Sports Illustrated Stadium on Thursday in the final round of the group stages of the 2025 Leagues Cup campaign. Both sides will be keen to pick up maximum points to confirm their place in the knockout stages.

The Red Bulls picked up a narrow 1-0 win over Guadalajara in the opening round through Emil Forsberg’s 97th-minute goal before losing on penalties to Monterrey in game two after a 1-1 draw in normal time. The hosts stand a chance to finish in the top four but will need to win all three points this midweek with a comfortable scoreline to ensure their progress, as they are one of six teams currently tied on four points after two games played.

Juarez squandered a two-goal lead in normal time as their game against Cincinnati ended in a 2-2 draw, but ended up picking up the win through penalties on Sunday. The Mexican side enjoyed a dominant 4-1 display in their opening round against Charlotte FC and could book their spot in the quarterfinals with just two points from Thursday's game.
