These two rivals have met twice this season and New York City FC have won on both occasions, including a 5-1 win at Red Bull Arena late on in the regular campaign.
The Red Bulls did a job on Columbus Crew in the previous round but New York City FC are very good at home with only Inter Miami winning more home games than them. Home advantage is huge in MLS and City can make full use of it.

🔍 New York City v New York Red Bulls Players to Watch
🔵 Alonso Martinez
Alonso Martinez is the leading goalscorer for New York City FC and he notched again for Costa Rica during the international break so the main man for the City side is going to be a key factor in this match. He scored twice when these sides met at Red Bull Arena eight weeks ago and is 1.83 to have two or more shots on target in this game. He’ll lead the line and should cover this selection.
