- New York RB have the most dropped points from leading position (16) in Major League Soccer

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as New York City have to travel 2000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
