It’s derby day in the Big Apple as New York City FC host the New York Red Bulls under the lights at Citi Field this Saturday night. So, MLS fans, you won’t want to miss this one.
Both sides are neck-and-neck in the standings, with NYCFC (5-3-5) and Red Bulls (5-3-5) separted in the standings on only the goal difference, and the city’s bragging rights hanging in the balance. The Pigeons have tightened things up at the back with four clean sheets so far, but they’re still lagging in attack, ranking just 25th in MLS for assists.
Across the river, the Red Bulls are looking like the slightly sharper side, riding a solid +5 goal differential and the shot-stopping form of Carlos Coronel. They’ve scored 20 and conceded 15 this season, thanks to a balanced setup and more consistent service up top. Choupo-Moting could be the wildcard, offering size, experience, and a surprising burst of scoring form. The Red Bulls have owned this rivalry historically with 16 wins to NYCFC’s 10, but don’t let the numbers fool you.
