The New York Red Bulls are in Columbus just three days after their trip to Utah ended in defeat to Real Salt Lake. RBNY head coach Jesse Marsch has a crowded schedule to work through over the next few weeks, and kept several senior players out of the starting lineup against RSL. It is assumed that was with an eye on this match.
So we're expecting to see Bradley Wright-Phillips, Sacha Kljestan, Dax McCarty, and Mike Grella back in the lineup in Columbus. That should give the front six a very familiar look.
