This will be the third regular season meeting between New York and Charlotte FC and the series is currently tied at a 1-1-0 mark. The Red Bulls won the last meeting between the two clubs on October 9, 2022, at Red Bull Arena, which was a 2-0 win. Forward Elias Manoel scored his first career MLS goal and added a second for his brace. The win qualified New York for their 13^th consecutive postseason berth, which is the longest active streak in MLS and is tied for the longest streak in league history. The Red Bulls and Charlotte FC are both coming off their first wins of the season.

The Red Bulls have only allowed six shots on target through the first four matches of the season, which is the lowest amount to start a season by a team since the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2010. New York have allowed three goals in four matches, which is tied for the fifth lowest in MLS.

Forward Dante Vanzeir scored his first career MLS goal in New York’s 2-1 victory over Columbus Crew on Saturday. Vanzeir has made three appearances this year for New York and his goal was the game-winner in the match.

Following Saturday’s match, New York finish their road trip with a matchup against Atlanta United FC on Saturday, April 1 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 pm.
