From the stakes to the location, they certainly saved the best New York Red Bulls-New York City FC derby match of 2016 for last.
After back-to-back away legs at Yankee Stadium, the 2016 New York Derby will come to an end at Red Bull Arena just like it did in 2015. But unlike last year, the Red Bulls won’t be hunting to sweep the series; after suffering their first series loss earlier this month, New York will be looking to win it. And though the Red Bulls still lead the New York Derby all-time with four wins to NYCFC’s one, and with a goal difference of 10 in their favor, this year’s currently split series brings a new feeling to this Sunday’s match.
