New York take on Austin in the MLS on Wednesday.

New York RB entertain Austin at the Red Bull Arena in Major League Soccer on Wednesday (September 20).

Both teams are struggling for form and may be unable to put a positive spin on their campaign before the season winds down. New York are hoping to snap a four-game winless streak as they return home after three road game. They drew blank against city rivals NYCFC in their previous game.

The Red Bulls have won seven of their 28 games, losing 12, leaving them 25th in the overall standings with 30 points. They finished fourth in the Eastern Conference and sixth overall last season to qualify for the playoffs but were knocked out in the first round. NYRB boast three wins in their last five home games.

Austin, meanwhile, have lost four times in their last five fixtures, with their previous win (2-1) coming in July against Kansas City. Austin have won nine of their 28 games, drawing six and losing 13, leaving them in 21st spot with 33 points. They could leap to 16th if they win and drop to 25th if they lose in New York.

The Verde and Black had a dream campaign last term, finishing second in the Western Conference and fourth overall, and reaching the playoffs conference semifinals. However, they may not replicate that run this term, considering their lowly position and only a few games remaining.
