I’m banking on a high-scoring clash with a slight New York edge. Here’s my take:
Over 2.5 goals @ 1.94 odds on 1xbet — Both teams have heavy firepower. NYRB at home average 2+ goals per match, and Minnesota has hit over 3.5 goals in their last three.
NYRB to win @ 2.239 odds on Betway — You’ve got the home favorite momentum and Minnesota’s away resilience creating that sweet 2‑1 balance—NY extends their home streak but Minnesota leaves with a goal.
Both teams to score @ 1.7 odds on Bet365 — With both offenses cooking and defensive lapses on both sides, that bet has strong backing—especially given its hit in 4 of Minnesota’s last 5 and 3 of NYRB’s last 4 games.
