The two local MLS teams have begun a rivalry that has soccer fans thirsting for this type of match. NYCFC is currently third in the Eastern Conference with the Red Bulls just two points back.
With a victory the Red Bulls would leap frog NYCFC into third place. NYCFC took the first of three meetings between the teams 2-0, but the Red Bulls have won 6 of 8 matches when these teams have kicked it off.
The Bulls are coming into the match roaring, coming off a big win over Montreal last weekend, and they are playing their finest soccer of the season. NYCFC has been nearly unbeatable at Yankee Stadium, going 7-1-3 this season.
Who will win? That's a tossup, but the winners are fans of the two teams who are fully part of New York's newest rivalry.
Game time: Sunday 6 p.m. at Yankee Stadium
