New York Red Bulls host Nashville SC at Sports Illustrated Stadium on Wednesday, August 19 (7:30 PM ET \/ 6:30 PM CT \/ 4:30 PM PT).<\/p>\n
There’s no fresh injury or suspension news out of either camp for this one. New York Red Bulls should be able to call on Julian Hall, who leads the club with nine goals this season. Jorge Ruvalcaba has added 7 of his own, while Emil Forsberg has created a team-high 30 chances from midfield. Nashville SC also have a clean bill of health, led by Samuel Surridge’s 12 goals and Hany Mukhtar, who has racked up 54 shots and created 24 chances from midfield this season.<\/p>\n
Nashville arrive sitting atop the East on 43 points from 19 games, a +24 goal difference that’s the best return in the conference and a reminder of just how ruthless this group has been in front of goal. New York Red Bulls are eighth in the East, still searching for the kind of home form that’s gone missing lately, having lost three of their last five outings. Expect a tight, low-event contest at Sports Illustrated Stadium, with the visitors’ control the likelier route to the only goal of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n
