In a very interesting match where the American club got victories in the last 5 matches at the New York Arena.
“Every time we play against the Red Bulls, the motivation is there” affirms the IMFC coach, Mauro Biello.
IMFC have three matches undefeated after winning to Houston and it will be important to follow the possible return of Didier Drogba.
On the other hand, the Red Bulls coach, Jesse March, has to watch the encounter from the fan stands, after being expulsed last week in the game against LA Galaxy and in addition, there will be the absence of two defenders due to injuries, Connor Lade and Damien Perrinelle.
Even with these facts, New York has a perfect 5-0-0 against IMFC as a host and they will try to extend to 7 their number of consecutive victories.
