This Weekend’s Soccer on TV

The third and final chapter of this season’s New York derby wraps up this weekend.

New York City FC, after picking up its first victory over the New York Red Bulls in club’s brief history earlier this month, looks to win the season series when it heads to Red Bull Arena on Sunday. The last time the two sides met in Harrison, New Jersey, on Aug. 9, 2015, the home team picked up a 2-0 victory en route to sweeping NYCFC on the season.

City comes into this weekend’s fixtures three points clear of the top of the Eastern Conference, while the Red Bulls trail five points behind in third place. Philadelphia Union, who stands in between in second, will visit fourth-place Montreal Impact on Saturday.

On the Western Conference side, the Portland Timbers look to build off their 3-1 win over the Seattle Sounders last week with another home victory against an LA Galaxy squad that is on a five-match winning streak across all competition. The reigning MLS Cup champions have yet to lose to the Galaxy in a nine-game stretch and they will try to extend that with an offense that has scored 20 goals in the second half of this season, tying Real Salt Lake for most in the league.

Elsewhere, the International Champions Cup begins on Friday with a match pitting Manchester United against Borussia Dortmund. Juventus, Leicester City, Inter and Paris Saint-Germain will all be in action during the weekend as well.
