Top Teams
The New York Red Bulls and NYCFC are two of the top three teams in the Eastern Conference. NYC (31 points) is only one point behind RBNY (32 points) in the standings. New York City (9 wins) is one win behind the Red Bulls (10 wins) as well.
This weekend’s Derby could be a game changer for either team. A Red Bulls win will determine whether the squad will maintain their second place position; a loss would mean a swap with NYC for third place.
Scoreless NYC
The two teams have matched up twice so far this season, once in an MLS match and once in the Open Cup.
