Team News

New York
Columbus
  • Dru Yearwood is expected to be ruled out until mid-March.
  • Serge Ngoma picked up a hamstring injury and is expected to return late March, while Cameron Harper has suffered a knock, but could still feature this weekend.
  • New signing Christian Ramirez continues to miss out, and is yet to feature for his new side following his recent move from Scottish club Aberdeen. Will Sands has picked up a back injury, and is expected to miss out this weekends fixture.

Prediction

  • New York Red Bull are without a win so far this season, held to draws in their last two games against Nashville and Minnesota respectively. Having only scored one goal so far this campaign, courtesy of Andres Reyes' strike in their 1-1 draw with Minnesota last weekend, New York RB will be hoping to start converting their chances and building towards the play-off position they managed to attain last season.
  • Columbus' drew with Toronto last week means that they head into this weekend in 9th place having had mixed fortunes so far this season. With only one win in their last five MLS fixtures, Columbus have continued their inconsistent form into this season.
  • Columbus edged out a tight 2-1 win last time these two sides met back in October.
