Seemingly out of the Supporters’ Shield race, the New York Red Bulls head to Portland to continue their playoff push.
While RBNY is in the top four in the Shield race, they sit at the very bottom. About nine points from first place Toronto.
With RBNY’s focus on a US Open Cup title, for now, a solid playoff spot is certainly achievable.
Tomorrow, August 18, RBNY travel to Portland for their regular season match number 24 on the season. Portland currently sits 11 overall and fifth in the West. Here’s a comparison of the two teams:
RBNY:
Place- Fourth in East
Points- 38
PPG- 1.
