The Red Bulls have won their last three MLS meetings with Orlando City, including a 3-0 away win on April 24. The three-match run is the first winning streak in league play by either team in the history of the series.
The Red Bulls have lost consecutive home MLS matches for the first time since a three-match home losing streak in September 2020. New York had lost only two of its previous 16 league matches at Red Bull Arena (W6 D8) dating back to September 2021.
Orlando City is winless in five straight matches (D2 L3) including losing the last three in a row. The five-match run equals the longest winless streak for the Lions since Óscar Pareja took charge ahead of the 2020 season (5 straight in September 2021).
Despite holding just 42.9 percent possession this season, the Red Bulls have faced only 9.7 shots per match, second fewest in MLS (Montreal – 9.3). New York held D.C. United to just four shots on Saturday, the fifth time its faced five or fewer shots in a match in 2022, tied for most in MLS (w/Montreal).
Orlando City has failed to score in two of its last three matches, including the 3-0 defeat to New England on Saturday. It’s been nearly three years since the Lions went consecutive MLS matches without a goal, last doing so in late August 2019.
