The New York Cosmos (3W-1D-2L, 10 points) have let leads slip in back-to-back games – 2-2 at Tampa Bay and 2-1 at FC Edmonton – to drop points. Shuart Stadium, though, offers the side a chance to get back to its winning ways. New York is a perfect 7-0-0 at home in league play this year. Veteran Juan Arango continues to lead by example, adding his team-high sixth goal in the loss to the Eddies.
Puerto Rico FC heads to New York full of confidence after earning its first ever league win, a 1-0 victory over Rayo OKC. Puerto Rican international Héctor Ramos has shouldered the goalscoring load for the club, tallying his fourth goal in five games in the club’s first win. The side, however, will need to shore up its defense on the road if it is to claim its first victory away from home. Puerto Rico has allowed eight goals in three games on its travels so far.
