New England and New York RB meet in MLS with a fair gap between them in the table. The hosts sit 2nd and come in on a run of three straight wins; their attack is firing again after a mid-season stumble with two 0-3 defeats in a row. The visitors are on 9 points, several places behind, but closed out their last match with a 2-0 win. New England have scored 51 goals from 31 matches but have conceded 42, so the defence is not especially tight, while New York RB have scored 41 and conceded 56, making them the leakiest defence among the top group in the table, though their attack still creates chances, especially away from home where they tend to open up. This game should be open from the start, because both teams tend to concede more than they score in certain spells, and with New England at home needing three points, pushing high could leave space for New York RB to counter. The thing to watch is how solid New England set up defensively in the first half, because if they let the visitors score first, the game could easily swing the visitors' way.
