Home Win
New York has solidified Red Bull Arena as the fortress of Major League Soccer since it opened in 2010.
This season, though, RBNY have yet to notch a win in two games. The Red Bulls will look to get three points at home for the first time this season.
Step Up
Frankie Amaya's controversial second yellow card in the New England match has been upheld, and as such, he will miss the match vs. CF Montréal.
In his stead, will we see Daniel Edelman make his first MLS start? Edelman, fresh off a stint with the U-20 USMNT in Argentina, has logged two sub appearances and 17 minutes in MLS play this season.
Gerhard Struber could also shift into a different formation, with Dru Yearwood as the sole defensive midfielder. Answering this question could be the No. 1 ket to the game, as the duo of Amaya and Yearwood have been stellar in '22.
Clean Sheet
The Red Bulls notched their first clean sheet in their away win vs. the Revolution this past Saturday. New York will look to keep their first clean sheet at RBA this season.
New York has allowed one goal in each of their first two matches at home.
The defense and Carlos Coronel will look to blank Montréal on Saturday afternoon.
