Tonite the East leading New York Red Bulls travel to the West leading FC Dallas.  ESPN2’s coverage starts at 7pm central.

Both New York and Dallas are doing unexpectadly well so far this year, although the season is very young still.

I’m really liking NY right now,  but they should be without Clint Mathis and they are playing at Pizza Hut Park in Dallas, so it is gonna be a tough pick for me.

Last season FC Dallas won this matchup both times they met, so I’m sticking with the Red Bulls to take both this year as they have already beaten FC Dallas 3-0.  I imagine the Red Bulls will continue their shut out streak tonite and enjoy another shut out victory over FC Dallas, but only score 2 goals this time.  So that is the prediction: NYRB 2 - 0 FC Dallas.  Even without Mathis Bruce will get the result he wants.
