The New York Red Bulls welcome Toronto FC to Red Bull Arena on October 11 in the second match of their three game homestand. The Red Bulls defeated the Houston Dynamo 1-0 last weekend, and look to carry the momentum into their third and final meeting vs. Toronto.
Here are some key numbers to consider before Saturday’s match.
- 0.86 – Luis Robles’ career goals against average in the month of October is 0.86. With last Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Houston, Robles earned his 18th shutout as a Red Bull, enough to move ahead of Jon Conway for second all-time.
- 6 – Richard Eckersley started his first game for the Red Bulls in more than six months last weekend. The right-back impressed on both ends of the pitch, swinging in crosses and shutting down U.S. internationals Brad Davis and DaMarcus Beasley.
- 7 – Only seven points separate third through eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings. New York is in fourth place with 44 points, while this weekend’s opponent Toronto FC stand just below the red line in sixth place with 40 points.
- 9 – The Red Bulls are undefeated at Red Bull Arena in their last nine matches (7-0-2). The streak includes a current run of six consecutive wins, and they have not lost at home since May 24th.
- 28 – The New York Red Bulls are unbeaten in their last 28 games (21-0-7) in which Thierry Henry has scored. Last Saturday’s game winning goal was his third of 2014 and his 10th goal of the season.
