Get to know the matchup in Keys to the Game, presented by Honda:
Don’t Let ‘Em Up
Montréal has gotten off to a forgettable start to the 2023 season, which currently sees them sit bottom of the Eastern Conference.
They have been held scoreless in six of their seven matches and have been outscored 10-0 in their last three matches.
Can the Red Bulls, who have only scored five goals all season, take advantage of a team that is down, though?
The Road Woe-rriors
New York, a team that set a club record for wins on the road in 2022, hasn’t seen the same success away from home so far in 2023.
In four matches away from Red Bull Arena, New York has yet to register a win.
A trip to Stade Saputo, where the Red Bulls broke a 12-match winless streak in 2022, could pose the perfect opportunity to get their first three away points of the season.
Fire First
New York has come from behind to avoid defeat a league-high four times this season. They have only scored first once so far this season.
Not having to dig themselves out of a hole by scoring first and taking the lead will go a long ways toward securing three points at Stade Saputo.
