After mustering just three road wins all last year, the Red Bulls already have matched that total barely halfway through the season. And they aim to surpass it Saturday at expansion Minnesota United (4 p.m., ESPN).
Despite early-season struggles, the Red Bulls (9-8-2) have won four straight games overall, and back-to-back league road contests by an aggregate score of 5-2 to climb up to fifth in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the expansion Minnesota United (5-11-4) is in the Western Conference cellar and winless in its last three home games at TCF Bank Stadium.
“We have to understand taking this team lightly will put us in big, big trouble,’’ Red Bulls coach Jesse Marsch said.
