Ten days prior, D.C. United stole three points at Red Bull Arena as Erik Sorga tallied the game’s lone goal in the waning moments of the match. New York travels down to Audi Field for a Saturday match to bounce back from their two-match losing streak and their loss to D.C. just 10 days ago. The Red Bulls, who weren’t as successful at RFK Stadium at 11-21-6, are undefeated at Audi Field with a 2-0-1 mark and have outscored its opponent, 6-4.


New York aims to get back into the win column following their 3-0 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday. The Red Bulls are 7-5-4 in MLS regular-season play following a loss with a plus-five goal differential (23 GF, 18 GA) since the beginning of 2019.


Designated Player Kaku and Austrian winger Danny Royer look to pick up the offensive slack from Bradley Wright-Phillips, who tallied a team-best 10 goals against D.C. United during his time in New York. Kaku and Royer combined for two goals in the Red Bulls’ 2-1 win over D.C in their last match at Audi Field and Kaku recorded the game-winning assist in New York’s first match at Audi Field.
