A critical match in the Eastern Conference is ahead on Independence Day as Columbus Crew SC play host to the New York Red Bulls on Saturday evening at Mapfre Stadium. The teams are separated by just two points in the conference standings, both hanging onto top-six positions. Crew SC are back home after a come-from-behind 2-2 draw at Real Salt Lake last weekend, while the Red Bulls are coming off a second consecutive win, their second win against cross-river rivals New York City FC at Yankee Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

• Crew SC saw their road winless streak extended to eight games, but still stretched their current undefeated run to three contests, coming away from Rio Tinto Stadium with a 2-2 draw with Real Salt Lake on Saturday evening.
• Ethan Finlay collected an assist for a third consecutive game in the RSL draw, now leading MLS with 10 assists for the season.
• The Red Bulls won their second consecutive game after a four-game losing slide, storming back with three second-half goals to win their second Hudson River derby of the year, defeating New York City FC 3-1 on Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.
• The teams are meeting for the second time this season. Bradley Wright-Phillips and Mike Grella scored second-half goals as the Red Bulls claimed a 2-1 victory, March 28 in Columbus.
• The Red Bulls have taken points on five of their last six visits to Columbus, dating back to 2011, with two victories there in that time. Crew SC won 3-1 at Red Bull Arena last Oct. 19, their first win at the Red Bulls since 2010. The Red Bulls had won two of the four home meetings in between, with two draws.
