The New York Red Bulls also have suspension issues, as midfielder Sean Davis will be forced to sit out Saturday and is likely to be a major miss after starting all 34 Red Bulls games this season. Aaron Long continued to be absent due to injury, but Struber will certainly set his team up in a 3-4-3 formation with Andrew Gutman, Sean Nealis and Andres Reyes making up the back line.

In terms of goals, in the thirty-seven matches played there have been goals, with 51 goals for the visitors and 50 for the locals. Their last meeting dates back to matchday 6 of the current season, where both teams drew by the minimum goal on the scoreboard.

In the VAR, referees Stuart Attwell and Constantine Hatzidakis will be in charge of monitoring any dubious play inside the box or that merits a red card.
Looking to secure Play Offs
On the other hand, New York RB has gone from strength to strength so far this season and everything seems to indicate that they will fight for this end of the regular season to secure a place in the MLS Play-Offs, also, they are in high spirits after having drawn away against Nasville, so it will be an important mission to recover and get the three points to get away from their pursuer. Currently, the team is in 7th place overall, being the last place with a ticket to the conference play-offs with 48 points obtained from 13 wins, 9 draws and 12 defeats. They also have 39 goals scored and 36 conceded, making them one of the most balanced teams in MLS.
They risk less
The Philadelphia Union have had a good season so far this season, so far they have shined in their conference, being one of the teams that are at the top of the general table. They are currently in 2nd place out of 14 with 54 points, which have come from 14 wins, 12 draws and 8 losses. They are also one of the most solid defensively, with 48 goals scored and only 35 conceded by the Philadelphia-based team. With a place in the MLS Play-offs already secured, this team will only have to go out and play in the MLS Play-offs.
Two completely similar realities
A new matchday will start for the Philadelphia Union and the New York RB, so far in the Eastern Conference everything is going as it was a few days ago, however, this is something relatively good for these two teams since they are at the top of the general table of their conference in positions 2 (Philadelphia Union) and 7 (New York RB), also, both teams are among the highest scorers in the MLS, so this will be a duel where the best offense can give the victory to their team.
Kick-off time
