MLS Week 2 New York Red Bulls @ Seattle Sounders Preview and Predictions

Hello Red Bulls Nation(or other people) to a preview of the big New York Red Bulls vs Seattle Sounders game. This game will be televised on Fox Soccer Channel and will begin at 10:30 PM Eastern. Last year's game against the Seattle Sounders in their first MLS game at Qwest Field(pictured above) was definitly a game to forget. The Red Bulls had came in as the 2008 MLS Cup Runner Up's and they got smacked! The expansion team, Seattle Sounders, had defeated the Red Bulls 3-0 and that's when the horrible season had began. After a very impressive preseason and a home win against Santos FC and Chicago Fire, The Red Bulls are looking for some revenge.

The weather for the game tomorrow looks very rainy and that could be an advantage for the Sounders. The Sounders have sold out every game for the past year in the MLS and there capacity is 35,700, much larger than any other MLS team. They have a very supportive and energetic fanbase, so look for them to pressure the Red Bulls. Robinson and Albright look good from practice, but will not play tomorrow. Freddie Ljungberg from the Sounders is dealing with a back pain injury, but is probable to play and Montero has a similar injury and is probable as well.

The Keys to Tomorrow's Game for the Red Bulls are:

• To have consistency
• Do not let the fans of the Sounders get to you
• Play good defense
• Have good passing

If the Red Bulls are successful in following their keys for their match, I am predicting a 2-1 win for the Red Bulls. I believe Bouna Coundoul could keep Montero, Evans, and Ljungberg from getting their goals and Lindpere will have another excellent performance. In case you people need to refer to me, just call me Jersey Chris. Until then, goodbye for now.
