2-0-0 – New York Red Bulls won both regular season meetings against New England in 2014, the only time they have ever swept the season series in the 19 years the teams have played. The last regular season competition between the clubs was an instant classic, when the 10-man Red Bulls scored two unanswered goals to defeat the Revolution, 2-1.
3 – On Saturday against the Revolution, New York will play its third match in seven days. The Red Bulls opened up the three-match week against LA Galaxy last Sunday and played to a 1-1 draw. Three days later, Colorado Rapids visited Red Bull Arena which resulted in a second consecutive 1-1 draw.
31 – Bradley Wright-Phillips converted a penalty on Wednesday night against Colorado to score his 31st career goal for the Red Bulls. Wright-Phillips is now just one goal shy of tying Amado Guevara (32) for fifth on the Red Bulls all-time goal scoring list. Guevara trails Clint Mathis (39), Giovanni Savarese (41), Thierry Henry (51) and Juan Pablo Angel (58).
244 – Luis Robles recorded two saves against Colorado Rapids to eclipse ex-Red Bulls goalkeeper Jon Conway (242 saves) for third place on the Red Bulls all-time saves list. Robles (244 saves) now trails only Tim Howard (442) and Tony Meola (629).
600 – Captain Dax McCarty has played a total of 600 minutes in the 2015 MLS season. If he plays at least 64 minutes on Saturday against New England, McCarty will reach 10,000 MLS regular season minutes played as a Red Bulls player.
