The Red Bulls have picked up 28 points from their 19 MLS matches so far to sit seventh in the Eastern Conference table, level on points with eighth-placed New York City FC.
On the other hand, Minnesota United turned in a superb second-half display in midweek when they hit three goals to secure a 3-1 home victory over Houston Dynamo.
Prior to that, Eric Ramsay’s men saw their run of five straight games without defeat come to an end on June 15 when they fell to a 4-2 loss at the hands of San Diego FC.
