The New York Red Bulls can extend their winning run at Red Bull Arena to six matches across all competitions when they host Minnesota United in Harrison on Saturday.
In their midweek affair, the reigning MLS Cup runners-up had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Toronto, while the Loons defeated the Houston Dynamo by a 3-1 score.
After 11 days away from the pitch, the New York Red Bulls were back in action on Wednesday, wasting several great opportunities in their match against TFC.
It was the first time in the 2025 season that Sandro Schwarz had seen his team fail to claim maximum points in an MLS affair when leading after 45 minutes.
Failing to win on Saturday would extend this side's winless run in this competition to three matches, making it their longest stretch without maximum points in the 2025 campaign.
Red Bull Arena has been a fortress for them in recent outings, with the home team winning four consecutive league contests in Harrison, collecting three clean sheets over that span.
After 19 league fixtures, the Red Bulls are three points above the Eastern Conference playoff line in seventh, though they are just a single point behind Inter Miami for sixth place.
New York have points in seven successive regular season home games versus Western Conference opposition, including a thumping 7-0 triumph over the Los Angeles Galaxy earlier this year.
Another strong final 45 minutes saw Minnesota get back on track Wednesday, as they solidified their third-place standing in the Western Conference and are now within three points of first place.
Eric Ramsay’s men have won their last two league contests when failing to score in the opening half, while they are winless in their previous two matches in this competition when scoring in the first 45 minutes.
The Loons have been among the most consistent sides in the league all year, losing just one of their previous six domestic affairs, with only two defeats suffered since the beginning of May.
A victory on Saturday would equal their longest winning run of the 2025 regular season (two) and mark the first time they claim successive away triumphs in the competition all year.
The Loons have won their last five MLS encounters when holding the opposition off the scoresheet in the opening 45 minutes, with two of those wins occurring away from home.
Minnesota are unbeaten in their last three regular-season games versus the Red Bulls, while winning their previous two visits to Red Bull Arena by a single goal.
New York Red Bulls possible starting lineup:
Coronel; Duncan, Eile, S. Nealis, Edwards; Stroud, Edelman; Sofo, Forsberg, Ngoma; Morgan
Minnesota United possible starting lineup:
Smir; Gressel, Diaz, Boxall, Romero, Padelford; Hlongwane, Trapp, Ho-yeon, Lod; Yeboah
