The New York Red Bulls are back at Red Bull Arena on Wednesday night for a third and final meeting of the year with Orlando City SC. New York will look to take the season series from a club playing just its second game under interim manager Bobby Murphy.
The match will be broadcast on MSG and MSG GO, beginning with Red Bulls Game Night at 7 p.m. The New York Red Bulls will also provide English and Spanish play-by-play on Red Bulls Radio. Countdown to Kickoff, hosted by Matt Harmon, goes live at 6:30 p.m. Harmon will be joined by former Red Bull and MetroStar Steve Jolley for the English coverage, while Ernesto Motta provides the Spanish call beginning at 7:30.
The Red Bulls stretched their home-undefeated streak to six games on Sunday with a scoreless draw against defending the MLS Cup Champion Portland Timbers. New York has earned shutouts in the last five home matches, and has not allowed a goal since the undefeated streak began against this Orlando City team on April 24, a 3-2 win.
Luis Robles and the Red Bulls have not allowed a goal at home since an own goal in the 84th minute of that contest. New York has shutout Portland, Toronto, Seattle, Chicago, and Dallas at RBA since then, running the current home shutout streak to 456 minutes, the longest streak in franchise history, entering Wednesday.
Orlando City enters with a 1-1-4 record in its last six games. Interim head coach Bobby Murphy took over for Adrian Heath last week, and earned a draw in his first game in charge.
Sophomore forward Cyle Larin leads the team with eight goals, while Brazilian international Kaka has three goals and five assists. Kevin Molino has added six goals and five assists this season.
The Red Bulls are 2-1-1 all-time against Orlando City SC, and 1-1-0 this year. In addition to the 3-2 win at Red Bull Arena, New York earned a road point at Orlando in May.
After Wednesday, the Red Bulls travel to Philadelphia for a nationally-televised meeting on Sunday, July 17 (7 p.m., TV: FS1) before returning home to host the final New York Derby of the year on Sunday, July 24 against New York City FC.
