The New York Red Bulls (10-8-4, 34 pts) wraps up their home-and-home series with Columbus Crew SC (6-14-3, 21 pts) Saturday night at Red Bull Arena.
Here are the Keys to the Game, presented by Honda:
Precious Points
Every point is precious, and with the Eastern Conference so tight, especially so for the remaining games.
New York will look to take three points from Columbus, a team with just one win on the road this season.
Last Time Out
The last time the Crew visited Red Bull Arena, they held a 1-0 advantage in a two-leg playoff series.
The Red Bulls went out and won 3-0, with a brace from Daniel Royer, to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Why Not Both
Brian White and Daniel Royer have each scored seven goals for the Red Bulls this season, tied for the team lead.
Only Bradley Wright-Phillips has led the Red Bulls in goals scored since the 2014 season (27 goals).
