The New York Red Bulls (12-13-7, 43 pts.) face off against FC Cincinnati (18-9-5, 59 pts.) at Sports Illustrated Stadium on Saturday, October 4 for Fan Night.
Here are the Keys to the Game, presented by Toyota:
There’s History
This will be the 15th overall regular season meeting between the Red Bulls and FC Cincinnati, with New York holding the series advantage with a 7-4-3 mark.
New York defeated FC Cincinnati, 3-1, the last time both clubs played at Sports Illustrated Stadium on July 20, 2024.
This matchup even extends to FCC’s time in USL, where New York triumphed over them in the run to the 2017 U.S. Open Cup Final.
Home vs. Road
New York is the best team in MLS at home since 2010, picking up 511 points since 2010. FCC, on the other hand, have been taking care of business away from home since 2023.
Since that year, no club has more road wins in MLS play than FC Cincinnati (28). With a win Saturday, FC Cincinnati would match MLS’ post-shootout era record with 11 road victories in a single season – a record which FCC co-set last season.
23 Year
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has recorded 23 goal contributions for New York this season (17 G, 6 A) across all competitions.
Choupo-Moting has scored 16 MLS goals this season, which ranks tied for ninth in MLS and ranks first among MLS newcomers.
