The New York Red Bulls (8-6-3, 27 pts) begin their first of two back-to-back road matches on Wednesday night at the Houston Dynamo (7-6-3, 24 pts). Kickoff at BBVA Stadium is set for 9 p.m. EST with coverage on MSG+, MSG Go, and New York Red Bulls Radio on TuneIn.
Here are the Keys to the Game, presented by Honda:
Dynamo Dash
Houston got off to a hot start to the season in 2019, but have sputtered of late.
The Dynamo have just one win in their last six matches, though they are undefeated at home this year.
Get The Memo
Houston has a three-headed monster in their attack, with Mauro Manotas (six goals), Alberth Elis (five goals) and Memo Rodriguez (five goals).
Their 16 goals combined make up 73% of the goals scored by the Dynamo this season. Stopping one, two or all three will be a big part of New York's defensive gameplan.
White Hot
Two Red Bulls are streaking, with Kaku notching a goal or an assist in five straight matches, while Brian White leads the Red Bulls with five goals.
Both have scored in back-to-back matches coming into the midweek matchup.
