Last Saturday, although New York fell behind twice in the opening half, they persevered and managed to secure a single point, repeating this feat for the second consecutive game.

Sandro Schwarz's team has remained unbeaten in their past three matches within this competition. From the two games held at Red Bull Arena, they have amassed four points.

This weekend, they stand a chance to earn at least one point in three consecutive MLS home games. This would mark the first such occasion since they remained undefeated in their initial 12 domestic matches in Harrison last year.

The Red Bulls have been successful in their last three regular - season fixtures when leading at half - time. Among these, they achieved a 2 - 0 victory at home against Nashville SC during their home opener this year.

In their last 13 regular - season matches, New York has accumulated points in 12 of those where they scored more than once. The only setback during this period was a home loss to the Columbus Crew last October.

Robin Fraser is still seeking his first triumph as head coach of this team, as the Reds are currently on a three-match losing run in this competition.

Dating back to the previous campaign, Toronto are winless in their last nine regular-season affairs and have not won an away match in this competition since August 2024 (1-0 over the Houston Dynamo).

Toronto have been among the worst defensive teams in the league over the past three seasons, and they have not looked any better so far this year, conceding 10 times in four games, tied with Orlando City for the most in MLS.

They have failed to win their last two regular season contests when scoring the opening goal, losing their last such game when doing so against the Fire last weekend.

The Reds have not won an away match at Red Bull Arena in normal time since a 1-0 triumph over New York City FC in 2020, though they knocked the Red Bulls out of the Leagues Cup last year at that same venue on penalties (5-4).

The Red Bulls were missing Marcelo Morales, Lewis Morgan, Roald Mitchell, Cameron Harper and Kyle Duncan last weekend with knee injuries, while Adri Mehmeti had a sore thigh and Serge Ngoma was dealing with abdominal pain.

They were also without Mohammed Sofo because of a groin issue, Ronald Donkor sat out due to a shin problem and Wiktor Bogacz was sidelined because of a sore back.

Six more players will be out this weekend as a result of the international window, including Omar Valencia (Panama), Aidan Stokes (USA Under-17), Tanner Rosborough (USA Under-17), Curtis Ofori (Ghana Under-20), Denis Gjengaar (Norway Under-21) and Carlos Coronel (Paraguay).

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Gjengaar found the back of the net for them against Orlando City last weekend, enabling them to claim a single point.

Four Toronto players, Sigurd Rosted, Raoul Petretta, Henry Wingo, and Richie Laryea, were sidelined against Chicago with lower body issues.

Three of their players will be out because of international duty, with Tyrese Spicer joining Trinidad and Tobago, Jonathan Osorio called up for Canada and Deiby Flores named to the Honduran national team.

In their defeat on Saturday, Alonso Coello collected his 50th Major League Soccer cap, replacing Flores in the starting 11 as a central midfielder.

Deandre Kerr replaced Ola Brynhildsen in the attack last weekend and had the only goal for Toronto in a losing effort after only 11 minutes.
