New York Red Bulls
- New York Red Bulls are a bit fragile at home with just one win in their last six.
- Ibrahim Sekagya's Red Bulls operate with a narrow, intense style that is all about creating turnovers high up the pitch and creating overloads to attack the opposition's goal.
- New York Red Bulls are in patchy form with two wins, one draw and two defeats from five.
- They have scored nine goals in their last six home games across all competitions and will be a threat to Orlando City SC.

- Orlando City SC have been the better side in recent weeks with three wins, one draw and one defeat from their last five.
- Orlando City's 6-2 hammering away to FC Cincinnati was a setback, but they bounced back with a 4-0 away win over San Jose Earthquakes in MLS 2026.

Key Players
