A total of 66,237 people were in attendance for last year’s 5-4 New York victory. Both teams could use a big game on Saturday as neither is playing well.

New York was happy to have a break before Saturday’s game. They had played eight matches in a 26 day stretch. "I was just saying to the guys that it doesn't seem we're getting any breaks now," Red Bulls coach Juan Carlos Osorio said. "At the moment, we don't get any breaks from the game itself. Hopefully, we'll get all those legs when we need them the most. I think it will turn around at some point." New York picked up two players who could start on Saturday. Venezuelan Jorge Rojas and Argentinean Juan Pietravallo could see time in the midfield. The team is also trying to work out a deal with Venezuelan club Deportivo Italta for defender Gabriel Cichero.
The Los Angeles Galaxy is now tied for second place in the Western Conference with Chivas USA after a 1-1 draw in the SuperClasico. Edson Buddle scored his 11th of the season, tying Landon Donovan for the league lead. "What I like about Edson is that he is an example. Like Landon his work rate is unbelievable.” Galaxy coach Ruud Gullit said, “He works hard without the ball, chasing people, holding the ball, sharp and scoring goals. I think we are all very proud of him. "I think he is ready to be selected to the national team because I think he is doing really, really well."
