New York City FC and Red Bull New York are set to play in the Round of 16 U.S. Open Cup match at the Sports Illustrated Stadium in New Jersey. Both teams are on the back of losses in the league, with NYCFC losing its fourth match of the season to CF Montréal and Cincinnati winning 2-0. The match is an opportunity for both teams to refocus and for NYCFC, which has not won a match in the MLS in six matches. Despite their 19 goals scored, NYCFC has conceded 16 goals in its first 10 league matches. The Red Bulls, led by 18-year-old Julian Hall, have struggled this season and haven't won as many points as they did in the same stage last season.
