Preview: FC Dallas @ RBNY - Wed. May, 24th

It's a midweek clash of MLS' best and one of their worst. Fresh off a 5-4 win against Chivas USA, the Red Bulls are hoping to nab their 2nd win of the season tonight in the cozy confines of Giants Stadium (and yes, the cozy part was sarcastic).

If you want to watch you should probably know:

New York Red Bull vs. FC Dallas - 6:30pm ET
TV: Direct Kick, MLStv, MSG, FSN-SW

Will Jean-Phillipe Peguero continue with his red-hot scoring ways? Or will FCD simply run over them the way they did against the NE Revolution?

I don't think FCD will run away with it but I do think they'll come out with some points. A win more likely than a draw, but they're not losing. It's looking like we'll see the same starting XI for FCD that we did last week. The biggest obstacle they'll have to over come is playing on the fake turf which the Red Bulls would hope to exploit. But I'm thinking they won't. And unfortunately for the Red Bulls offense, FCD's backline isn't nearly as porous as Chivas USA's was.

NY had a great game last week but they'll have a let down tonight. But hey, at least it's on TV.

My prediction: FCD 3 - 1 RBNY
