New York Red Bulls will come into the meeting following on from a 0-3 Open Cup win to defeat D.C. United in their most recent fixture.

A series of accomplished showings by the New York Red Bulls defensive unit has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 3 from their past 6 clashes in total. During the same period of time, their own attack force has managed to score 9. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be continued into this match, though.
