The New York Red Bulls (10-6-14, 44 pts.) battle rivals New York City FC (11-11-8, 41 pts.) in the second New York Derby of the season on Saturday, September 28 at Red Bull Arena.
Here are the Keys to the Game, presented by Toyota:
Shuts Out
In 10 career appearances against NYCFC, Carlos Coronel has registered six clean sheets across all competitions. His four MLS clean sheets against NYCFC are tied for the most he has against a single MLS club – he also has four against Nashville SC and Toronto FC.
While Coronel will get the credit, the stingy defense playing in front of him has helped keep the balls out of the back of the net, as well.
Roll Red
This will be the 25th overall regular season meeting between New York and NYCFC.
In meetings at Red Bull Arena, New York has posted an 8-2-2 mark during the regular season and a 4-0-0 mark in other competitions, which includes Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and Leagues Cup. In their last five matches against NYCFC at Red Bull Arena, the Red Bulls have posted a 4-1-0 mark.
Win & In
The Red Bulls can secure a berth into the Audi 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs with a victory at home on Saturday.
Win & In is one of many scenarios in play for RBNY as they vie for their 15th-consecutive postseason appearance.
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET with coverage on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV in English, Spanish, and New York Red Bulls Radio in English via the New York Red Bulls app and NewYorkRedBulls.com.
