Over the past eight years, the New York Red Bulls have enjoyed their fair share of success in MLS.
They have won five Eastern Conferences since 2000, four of those coming in the last eight years, were runners-up in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup in 2017, and have enjoyed CONCACAF Champions League outings also.
Their opponents on Saturday, on the other hand, have not had the same enthralling ride in recent years.
The Colorado Rapids have struggled since their 2010 MLS Cup campaign. They have qualified for the postseason just three times since that MLS Cup victory, failing to make the semi-final stage on every occasion.
