A win in this game would count as three points. Likewise, losing wouldn’t net New York City FC anything. However, it’s impossible distilling the volcanic emotional eruption and the impact that this game has into a simple win, loss, or draw.
NYCFC are currently top of the league, and the geographically confused New York Red Bulls would like nothing more than to knock the Boys in Blue off of their perch. A loss in this game would give Red Bulls wins in 7 out of the 11 derbies to this point.
The Red Bulls have been an extremely tough out in the regular season in recent history.
