It’s NYC bragging rights on the line as New York City FC welcome the Red Bulls to Citi Field this Saturday night, and for the fans this Hudson River Derby promises a real bite.
NYCFC have been gritty if not flashy, with a solid backline and the sharp reflexes of Matt Freese keeping them in games. But goals remain a premium. Alonso Martinez has been a rare spark, and if the Pigeons are to clip the Bulls, it’ll need to be a smash-and-grab special in front of their Queens faithful.
The Red Bulls, meanwhile, roll in with more polish and pedigree. They’ve bagged more goals, conceded fewer, and boast a deeper toolkit in the final third, plus a keeper in Carlos Coronel who knows how to hold a lead.
Don’t forget: RBNY have won this fixture 16 times to NYCFC’s 10. But forget the form, derbies in this city aren’t played on paper.
