For the first time in a Hudson River Derby – City will walk into Red Bull Arena knowing what 3 points feels like on the other side of the Hudson.
NYCFC had a successful spell last season, winning for the first away derby in 2-0 thanks to goals from Jack Harrison and Ben Sweat, on the way to winning the 2017 MLS Derby series with a record of 2-0-1.
The confidence that comes with being there before, coupled with NYCFC’s recent road form, bodes well as preparations continue for the weekend.
Road Blues
New York City has played more road games than home so far this season, but it’s working out just fine.
