Last season, New York City FC swept the New York Red Bulls in the regular season. This included the stunning 5-1 win at Sports Illustrated Stadium. So, with the win earlier this season at home, the Pigeons will aim to sweep the New Jersey side in the regular season for the second season in a row.
They also need to completely forget what happened in the middle of the week. NYCFC lost horribly to Inter Miami CF. Funny enough, they were playing decently well and were only down a goal. But the backline crumbled once Thiago Martins was taken out, which led to the 4-0 loss.
