The New York Red Bulls are set to take on Columbus Crew SC in a vital in-conference matchup at MAPFRE Stadium on Saturday, September 23.
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on MSG+ and New York Red Bulls Radio on Tunein.
With matchday approaching, here are some numbers to know ahead of Saturday’s clash:
2: Just two points separate the sixth-place New York Red Bulls and fifth-place Columbus Crew SC in the Eastern Conference standings. New York enters the match with the upper hand, thanks to two games in hand on their opponent.
3: In three career games versus Crew SC, Alex Muyl (one goal, two assists) has recorded at least one point in each matchup. The midfielder looks to extend his point streak against Columbus to four on Saturday.
3-0-1: New York is 3-0-1 in their last four regular season matchups against Columbus. The Red Bulls have not dropped a regular-season game to Crew SC since July 4, 2015.
6: The Red Bulls will play their third game in six days in Columbus on Saturday. In their previous two games this week, the Red Bulls tied the Philadelphia Union at home on Sunday, and fell in Wednesday’s U.S. Open Cup Final at Sporting KC.
7: Bradley Wright-Phillips has scored seven goals in nine regular season games versus Columbus. The forward has 15 MLS regular-season goals this year.
