New York Red Bulls visit the Geodis Park on Saturday (October 21) to face Nashville in the MLS, looking to end the league phase of their campaign with a third straight win.
After succumbing to their 13th loss of the season to Chicago Fire, who beat them 1-0 on September 30, the Red Bulls overcame Cincinnati 2-1 before a comprehensive 3-0 win over Toronto.
Sitting in tenth position in the Eastern Conference with 40 points from 33 games, New York are out of contention to reach the playoffs.
However, all's not lost yet, as the side must better DC United's result on the day to climb into ninth position, and will be confident of their chances against a Nashville side that's struggled in recent weeks.
