This will be the 98th meeting between the Red Bulls and D.C. United, the most played match in MLS history (incl. playoffs). New York is winless in its last three home matches against D.C. (D2 L1) after winning eight of the previous 10 meetings at Red Bull Arena (W8 D2, incl. playoffs).
The Red Bulls return home following their first road loss of the season, a 2-0 defeat at Miami on Sunday. New York is winless in six home matches in 2022 (D2 L4) and is looking to avoid becoming the fourth team in MLS history to go winless in its first seven home matches of a season.
After opening the season with two straight wins, D.C. United has recorded just two victories in its last 10 MLS matches (D2 L6). D.C. kept clean sheets in each of its first two matches, both wins, but has kept just one since, conceding multiple goals in eight of its last 10 matches.
The Red Bulls have committed an MLS high 17.3 fouls per match this season, while their 36 cautions are tied for fourth-most. D.C. United has committed 15.5 fouls per match, second in the league, though they’ve been cautioned just 28 times. Only eight teams have been booked less often.
D.C. United has used an MLS-high 29 different players this season. Only five of those players have scored a goal, tied for the fewest in MLS in 2022.
