Kissimmee, FL (May 29, 2023) - New York Red Bulls II (5-2-3, 20 pts.) travel to Kissimmee, FL to face Orlando City B (5-3-2 18 pts.). Kickoff at Osceola Heritage Park is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET and coverage is available on MLSNEXTPro.com.
New York is coming off their third consecutive win just three days ago, as they defeated Huntsville City FC by a score of 2-1. Goals by Ronald Donkor and Ibrahim Kasule led the way for Red Bulls II to secure three points on the road.
After starting the season in great form, Orlando has hit a bit of a rough patch up to this point in the season. They showed a lot of promise last Thursday when they defeated Miami 1-0, however previous to that victory they had only managed to gain six points in six matches.
Orlando is sitting right behind the New York in the Eastern Conference standings, having collected 18 points in 10 matches. New York has earned 20 points in the same amount of matches which places them at fourth in the Conference table.
Red Bulls II are currently hitting their stride in the offensive end in recent matches, scoring more than one goal in two of the last three matches. The five goals scored during this three match win streak have all been scored by different players for New York, with Elias Manoel, Frank Ssebufu, Oladayo Thomas, Ronald Donkor, and Ibrahim Kasule all getting on the scoresheet.
While the offense has improved, the defense and goalkeeping have been the strength of this team all year long. The club now leads the league in least goals allowed with eight, averaging out to less than a goal per match allowed for New York.
The II’s have managed to maintain an undefeated record on the road this season in four matches. New York’s 2-0-2 record has made them a concern for any team that is getting ready to host and the away side will look to continue that success on Monday night in Orlando.
