HARRISON, N.J. (August 25, 2015) - The New York Red Bulls travel to Chicago for a meeting with the Fire on Wednesday, August 26. New York will look to extend its six-game unbeaten streak and also earn a first victory at Chicago's Toyota Park. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET, with coverage on MSG beginning at 8 p.m. A Spanish-language broadcast on MSG will be available through the SAP function.
The New York Red Bulls will also provide English and Spanish radio broadcasts via Red Bulls Internet Radio through www.newyorkredbulls.com. The English radio will also be available nationwide on Sirius XM Channel 85.
New York is 5-0-1 over the six-game unbeaten run, and is coming off of two straight shutout victories over New York City FC and Toronto FC. Overall, New York is 7-1-1 since snapping a four-game losing streak with a win over Real Salt Lake on June 24. On the current streak the Red Bulls have outscored opponents 20-6 and recorded four shutouts. Luis Robles earned career shutouts 25 and 26 in the last two contests, surpassing Tony Meola to set a new franchise record.
Bradley Wright-Phillips continues to lead the team with 11 goals, and recorded the game-winners in the last two contests. Bradley Wright-Phillips' five game-winning goals this season are tied for the league lead. Sacha Kljestan has turned up his offensive output of late, and has two goals and six assists over his last eight games. Kljestan now leads the team with seven assists. Mike Grella has a point streak of his own with assists in the last three games, and is tied with Dax McCarty and Bradley Wright-Phillips for second on the club with six assists.
Chicago currently sits near the bottom of the table with a 6-13-5 record, but the Fire have historically been a tough matchup for New York. The Red Bulls are just 13-25-10 all-time against Chicago, and have only won in the Windy City three times. New York has never won at Chicago's Toyota Park, which opened in 2006. All six of Chicago's wins this season have come at home.
David Accam leads the Fire with six goals, while Homegrown Player Harry Shipp has six assists.
Last season, Chicago beat the Red Bulls twice, once in each city, and the teams also played to a 1-1 draw at Toyota Park.
After Wednesday, the Red Bulls return home for a showdown with rival D.C. United on Sunday, August 30. Kickoff for that match is scheduled for 7 p.m., with coverage on Fox Sports 1.
