Saturday marks the first matchup of the season between the two clubs.
The Philadelphia Union bring a 12-4-5 record into Saturday’s matchup against the New York Red Bulls. The team is riding a two-game losing skid heading into the game, losing 1-0 to the Columbus Crew on June 29 and falling to Nashville SC by the same score on July 5.
The Union are playing exceptionally well at home with a stretch of 10 games without a loss at Subaru Park (seven wins, three draws). The club has only one home loss this year.
Look for the Union to be motivated heading into this contest. Not only is the squad winless in two games, they are scoreless in back-to-back contests for just the second time this year. They will also look to get a win over New York as they have three draws and one win over New York in their past four meetings in Philly.
Philadelphia are two points out of first place in the Eastern Conference.
Tai Baribo is the leading scorer for the Union. The 27-year-old forward has 17 points and 13 goals, which puts him third in the league in goals. Baribo missed three games due to a calf injury but played 29 minutes in the Union’s most recent game. He could be a starter on Saturday.
The New York Red Bulls sport an 8-6-7 record this season, which puts the club in eighth place in the Eastern Conference. New York has not won a game since they defeated Atlanta United FC on May 31. The club played three times in June, losing 2-1 to Austin FC, while playing to draws against Toronto FC and Minnesota United FC. In their most recent outing, the Red Bulls played the San Jose Earthquake to a 1-1 draw.
New York have been able to jump to leads in the past three games they played to a draw, but they have not been able to hold onto those leads.
The Red Bulls away record is not good this year. The team has earned a single road win in 11 outings this year.
New York will be without Cameron Harper and Lewis Morgan because of injury on Saturday. Also, Raheem Edwards will be out of action due to suspension.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting leads the Red Bulls with 11 goals and 20 points. The 36-year-old forward had two points against Minnesota but went without a point in his most recent outing.
