Red Bulls II currently stands in third place of the Eastern Conference with a 4-1-2 record. New York has one game in hand on Charlotte Independence and leaders Louisville City FC.
This is the first of two head-to-head meetings between the clubs in 2016 and their fourth all-time. Last season, New York lost the season series, 1-2-0.
Red Bulls II defeated Pittsburgh Riverhounds last weekend, 3-1, to improve their perfect road record to 3-0-0 this season. NYRB II is 1-1-2 at home through four games. In their last home game, they suffered their first loss of the season against Charlotte Independence.
Stefano Bonomo scored the game-winning goal and his first of the season last weekend against Pittsburgh. It was the forward’s second game-winner of his career and fourth goal in two USL seasons.
Derrick Etienne Jr. was named to the Week 7 USL Team of the Week Bench for his performance against the Riverhounds. The midfielder scored his second goal of the season on the volley of a Junior Flemmings cross. Etienne Jr. is the only Red Bulls II player on the current roster to have scored against Richmond in 2015.
