New York Red Bulls are set to lock horns with Philadelphia Union in the MLS Eastern Conference clash at the Red Bull Arena. Although both teams are separated by just three points, NY Red Bulls occupy seventh position in the table compared to third-placed Philadelphia. The Red Bulls enter the game on slightly better form after winning three of their last five matches. During that time, Philadelphia have won twice but they come into the game after a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of Nashville.

Notably, the reverse fixture between the sides in May ended up being a 1-0 win for Philadelphia. Cody Burke scored as early as the ninth minute, while Red Bulls’ Dru Yearwood got sent off in the dying embers of the game. Coincidentally, there has been very little to choose between the sides in terms of their overall record in this fixture. Both Red Bulls and Philadelphia have registered 16 wins each in 38 games over the years. There have been six draws between the sides, while both of them have also scored 54 goals each in these previous meetings. However, Philadelphia have enjoyed success over Red Bull more recently, with five wins in the last six matches between the sides.
