- The Revolution extended their winning streak to five games, matching the longest this season in MLS and matching the club’s longest since a club-record six-game winning run in 2005, following their 3-1 win at Toronto FC on Sunday afternoon.
- The Red Bulls are also rolling, winning for a ninth time in the last 12 games, coming back from two goals down for a 3-2 win against the Chicago Fire on Friday evening at Red Bull Arena.
- The teams are meeting for the third time this season. Bradley Wright-Phillips scored a pair of goals and set up another as the Red Bulls rolled to a 4-1 win July 11 at Red Bull Arena. Charlie Davies and Teal Bunbury netted goals for the Revolution in their 2-1 win, May 2 at Gillette Stadium.
- The Revolution defeated the Red Bulls 2-1 at Red Bull Arena in the first leg of the Eastern Conference Championship a year ago, their first win of any sort in New Jersey since 2007, ending a 10-game winless streak there in all competitions.
- When the Red Bulls won 2-0 in Foxborough last year, it was the first for New York in New England since 2002. The Revolution had won 13 of 19 meetings in league and MLS Cup play since that previous New York win.
