New York Red Bulls vs Toronto FC prediction, preview, team news and more | MLS 2020
New York Red Bulls host Toronto FC at the Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey, on Sunday.
Both teams have already qualified for the MLS playoffs from the Eastern Conference, but positioning is at stake for both sides.
Toronto FC still can finish atop the Eastern Conference with a win in this game, provided that they win this game, and Philadelphia Union drop points against New England Revolution.
New York Red Bulls can finish as low as eighth in the MLS Eastern Conference, which would mean that they would have to play an extra round in the playoffs.
They are currently seventh in the table, and are three points behind New England Revolution. A swing is still possible to see New York Red Bulls finish in the top six in the MLS Eastern Conference.
