LA Galaxy, on the other hand, currently find themselves in the 15th spot in the Western Conference of the MLS. The defending champions are still chasing their first league win of the season and have only accumulated three points so far. They have suffered eight losses in the ongoing campaign already.

Players to watch out for:

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (NY Red Bulls)

The former Bayern Munich striker has showcased his great qualities perfectly in the ongoing league campaign so far. In his first 11 appearances, Choupo-Moting has found the back of the net four times. He is very versatile and is equally threatening in the penalty box and with his back to goal as well.

With his experience, he will be given the responsibility to lead the NY Red Bulls to victory against the defending MLS champions.

Gabriel Pac (LA Galaxy)

The Brazilian winger was fundamental to the Galaxy’s success last year. He has started this season on a great note as well. He is the joint second-highest goalscorer for his club in Major League Soccer so far.

His directness and versatility are his most lethal weapons. He will be crucial for Greg Vanney’s team against the NY Red Bulls.
