HARRISON, NJ (October 3, 2014) - The New York Red Bulls open the final month of the regular season when they host the Houston Dynamo tomorrow in the first of a three-game homestand at Red Bull Arena.

Saturday marks the third and final regular-season meeting between the two clubs this year. The Red Bulls have posted a 1-0-1 record through two games, including a 2-2 draw on July 4 at BBVA Compass Stadium in the most recent meeting.
