International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both New York RB and New England are looking forward to this Leagues Cup fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
10-3-13 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for New England when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 26 matches are 40-47 (scored/conceded).
These teams have little in common geographically as New England have to travel 2300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
