This is a big week for New York City FC. Not only will Thursday’s match against the New York Red Bulls be the team’s return game to the 2020 MLS season, it will also be the first edition of the Hudson River Derby this year. A lot is riding on this game as NYCFC sits at second-to-last in the Eastern Conference with only three points through their five games. And if the club wishes to make inroads towards turning their season around, as well as get a huge one-up on their local rivals, this match is a must win for the Boys in Blue.
