The New York Red Bulls face FC Dallas at Red Bull Arena on Friday, April 29 at 7 p.m. ET (TV: UniMas; RADIO: Red Bulls Radio English/Spanish on TuneIn). Coming off an impressive win on Sunday against Orlando, New York looks to capture their second straight win at home.
Here are some numbers to know ahead of Friday night’s game against FC Dallas.
0: FC Dallas has never won a game at Red Bull Arena, with two losses and one draw. Dallas has not played at Red Bull Arena since September of 2013 when they lost 1-0 as a result of an own goal.

In similar fashion, BWP netted just twice in the first six games of 2015, and just five times in the first 15 matches, before going on a tear to finish with 12 goals in the final 19 contests.
4: With four assists on the season, Sacha Kljestan is currently tied for first place in MLS for assists. Additionally, he became only the 13th player in team history to have 20 career assists. Kljestan is delivering balls at a record setting pace, averaging an assist every 204 minutes.
10: In Sunday night’s win over Orlando City SC, the Red Bulls rallied to score three goals in less than 10 minutes. Mike Grella grabbed the first, and Bradley Wright-Phillips scored the last two.
42: The Red Bulls and FC Dallas have a long history, entering Friday night having played 42 matches against one other dating back to 1996. The Red Bulls lead the series by a slight margin of three wins with an all-time record of 20-17-5.
