Playoff Positioning
With just one point separating the two teams coming into the match (D.C., 48 & RBNY, 47), the Sunday tilt could decide which club gets to host a home match in the first round of the Audi 2019 MLS Cup Playoffs.
Three points at home would vault the Red Bulls over D.C., and into a spot where they would host a postseason match, each with one game remaining to play on Decision Day.
Undefeated Streak
The Red Bulls have a nine-game undefeated streak alive in the series, with United’s last win overall coming on May 13, 2016, at RFK Stadium.
