New York Red Bulls<\/a> host Philadelphia Union<\/a> at Sports Illustrated Stadium on Saturday, August 29 (7:30 PM ET \/ 6:30 PM CT \/ 4:30 PM PT).<\/p>\n

There’s no fresh team news to flag for either side heading into this one \u2014 no absences listed for New York Red Bulls or Philadelphia Union \u2014 so both should be able to call on the players who have carried their attacks all season. Julian Hall leads New York’s group with 9 goals and 20 shots on target, with Jorge Ruvalcaba’s 7 goals and Emil Forsberg’s 30 chances created also in the mix. Philadelphia will lean on Milan Iloski<\/a>, whose 10 goals and 43 chances created make him their most productive attacker, backed up by Bruno Damiani, Indiana Vassilev and Danley Jean Jacques, all on 3 goals apiece.<\/p>\n

Sports Illustrated Stadium hosts a game between an eighth-placed New York side still holding a foothold in the East playoff picture<\/a> and a Philadelphia Union team down in 13th with 21 points from 21 games and a -7 goal difference. Recent form splits the sides \u2014 New York’s sequence reads L-W-L-L-D, capped by a 1-1 draw with Chicago Fire, while Philadelphia’s run of W-W-W-D-D has kept them competitive without pulling clear of mid-table. Expect a tight game that still finds the net at both ends, with the hosts’ extra firepower up top edging it late.<\/p>\n
