New York Red Bulls host Toronto FC at Sports Illustrated Stadium on Saturday, October 17 (7:30 PM ET \/ 6:30 PM CT \/ 4:30 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neither side carries any fresh fitness concerns into Sports Illustrated Stadium, so New York Red Bulls and Toronto FC should both be able to field their strongest available options. Striker Julian Hall, who leads this matchup with 11 goals this season, spearheads the Red Bulls’ attack, with fellow striker Jorge Ruvalcaba Castro (8 goals) offering support alongside him. Toronto’s threat starts with strikers D\u00e1niel Sall\u00f3i and Joshua Sargent, who have scored 7 goals apiece, while attacking midfielder \u0110or\u0111e Mihailovi\u0107 adds a further creative outlet in behind them.<\/p>\n

New York Red Bulls sit eighth in the East, firmly in the mix for the playoffs, and go into this one on the back of a 4-1 demolition of San Diego FC at home. Toronto FC, by contrast, are 11th in the East on 32 points with a goal difference of -11, form that has swung between heavy away defeats and home wins like their last-time-out victory over CF Montreal. Both sides have shown they can score and concede in equal measure this season, and with Hall in red-hot form up front for the hosts and Sall\u00f3i and Sargent both threatening at the other end, this looks set to be an open, entertaining contest decided by moments in both boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n
