Out of a mainly available squad, there is just the one fitness problem for the New York Red Bulls boss Sandro Schwarz to contend with. Dylan Nealis (Muscle injury) misses out for this game.
We’re of the thinking that Red Bulls might play in a 3-4-3 lineup with a starting lineup of Carlos Coronel, Sean Nealis, Kyle Duncan, Noah Eile, Mohammed Sofo, Felipe Carballo, Peter Stroud, Omar Valencia, Emil Forsberg, Eric Choupo-Moting and Serge Ngoma.
