This Wednesday the New York Red Bulls host FC Cincinnati at Red Bull Arena. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m ET.
Here are the Keys to the Game, presented by TriHonda Dealers:
Busy Month Ahead
New York are expected to play six games this month -- FC Cincy, Chicago Fire FC (twice), Columbus Crew SC, CF Montréal, and NYCFC.
Four of those games will be at Red Bull Arena, where RBNY have netted 12 of their 20 goals this season.
Caden Clark, who started New York’s last two games, has scored all his goals at RBA this season.
Bouncing Back After Home Loss
Since 2018, the Red Bulls are 8-3-1 after suffering a home loss.
New York needs a win to climb back in the table and get back in the playoffs mix. Last season, the Red Bulls defeated FC Cincy 3-2 at Red Bull Arena.
“I think a must-win in football is I think not – not the right message. I think we have to bring the right performance,” said Head Coach Gerhard Struber after Saturday’s game. “We have to bring an outstanding, good performance on Wednesday. This is what I expect from my boys, and in the end, to win a game, you need always a little bit of luck, and today we were very unlucky in the end to lose this game.
“We have to fight to bring the luck back in our fortress, and this is the only big – the big message that I will give my boys,” he concluded.
Cincy’s Last Win Happened in June 26
In their last three games, FC Cincy have scored one goal.
Their leading goalscorer is Lucho Acosta with four goals.
They currently sit 11th place in the Eastern Conference with 14 points.
