The New York Red Bulls are looking to keep their hopes of a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs alive when they host rivals New York City FC on Saturday night at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey.
Riding a 15-season run of qualifying for the postseason, the Red Bulls sit two points below the Eastern Conference playoff cutoff, with 43 points and three games remaining, chasing Chicago Fire FC, who have 45 points and one less game played.
NYCFC, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back from a 4–0 midweek defeat to Lionel Messi-led Inter Miami, with hopes of securing a top-four spot in the Eastern Conference, which would give them home advantage in the first-round best-of-three series to open the playoffs.
Here is guide to the 32nd Hudson River derby.
