The Hudson River Derby returns to Yankee Stadium on Friday night (00:30 UK) as MLS Eastern Conference rivals New York City FC and New York Red Bulls renew hostilities. The market makes NYCFC strong favourites at 1.7, and with good reason — they have won five of the last ten meetings between these two and carry the recent derby bragging rights. The Bet365 1X2 line prices NYCFC at 1.7 (implied ~59%) with the Red Bulls out at 4.33 (implied ~23%), a strong favourite tag that the underlying numbers broadly support.
