New York Red Bulls host Cincinnati at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday in MLS action, looking for just their 13th win of the 2025 season. The Red Bulls were beaten 3-2 by city rivals New York City FC in their last match, having fought back twice during the proceedings. Thiago Martins then fired in a third goal for the Yankees in the 65th minute, and the home side fell short this time.
With 43 points from 32 games, New York Red Bulls are in 10th position in the Eastern Conference table and have been knocked out of the race to reach the next round of the MLS playoffs.
Meanwhile, Cincinnati are up in second place with 59 points, just four behind leaders Philadelphia Union with only two more games remaining. The Orange and Blue will be aiming to usurp them, but need a bit of fortune too, as the Union must slip up for them to have a chance.
