New York City FC vs. New York Red Bulls

• WATCH: Apple TV - MLS Season Pass
• WHEN: Saturday, 7:30 pm ET

The 28th Hudson River Derby sees both sides riding two-game winning streaks heading into Saturday's clash at Citi Field.

The Red Bulls have flexed their attacking muscle of late. Wednesday's 4-1 victory at D.C. United was their second-straight four-goal performance, with Golden Boot contender Lewis Morgan scoring in both matches to reach 9g/3a on the season. Offseason DP signing Emil Forsberg had two goal contributions (1g/1a) over that span as well, further solidifying his status as RBNY's midfield engine.

On the blue side of the city, NYCFC are seeking their first derby win since 2022. With five wins in their last six games, Nick Cushing's side has room for optimism – especially with continued strong play from Santíago Rodriguez and Hannes Wolf, who have combined for a team-leading 51 key passes.

How good are things going for the Cityzens? Not even pitch-invading raccoons can mess with their form right now...

Toronto FC vs. CF Montréal

• WHEN: Saturday, 7:30 pm ET

Toronto FC and CF Montréal both enter the Canadian Classique needing bounce-back results.

The Reds have dropped two straight games but will welcome back previously suspended head coach John Herdman, starting goalkeeper Sean Johnson, and attackers Federico Bernardeschi and Prince Owusu for this all-important rivalry match.

Montréal are also feeling the pressure of late, going five games winless as new head coach Laurent Courtois deals with first-year growing pains and a long list of key injuries. But CFMTL do have recent derby history on their side, having not lost an MLS regular-season game to TFC since 2020.

Real Salt Lake vs. Colorado Rapids

• WHEN: Saturday, 9:30 pm ET

Western Conference-leading Real Salt Lake will look to keep the good times rolling on Saturday against Rocky Mountain Cup rivals Colorado Rapids, seeking a fifth win in six games that would extend their undefeated streak to 10 games.

Coming off a 2-0 midweek victory over the Seattle Sounders in Matchday 14, RSL improved to 7W-2L-4D (25 points) on the season thanks to a 1g/1a performance from rising midfielder Diego Luna. But Salt Lake's biggest threat remains Cristian Arango, whose 11g/7a on the year has the Colombian striker both in the MVP and Golden Boot conversation.

Yet Colorado are enjoying plenty of confidence as well, having kept a clean sheet against the Vancouver Whitecaps in a 1-0 win that came courtesy of Rafael Navarro's penalty-kick goal. Additionally, the Rapids won their previous trip to America First Field back in March, with Navarro and Cole Bassett finding the back of the net for a 2-1 decision.
