The New York Cosmos have already wrapped up the Fall Season title and the No. 1 seed in the postseason, but the club will be fighting for a record on Saturday against Miami FC. New York (12W-5D-3L, 41 points Fall; 18-5-7, 59 Combined) is unbeaten in its last 18 regular-season games at Shuart Stadium and can set the league’s home unbeaten streak mark with a draw or win this weekend. Juan Arango continues to be the focal point of the attack, using a pair of his signature free kicks to lead the Cosmos to a 4-2 win over Jacksonville Armada FC in the club’s last game. Arango and New York’s attack has been strong against Miami in the two meetings, scoring three goals apiece in each game and winning both.

For Miami FC, things could have been much different heading into the weekend clash. After grabbing a lead against Jacksonville on Wednesday night, the side conceded two goals and left Community First Park with no points. That loss kept Miami (8-6-6, 30 Fall; 9-10-11, 37 Combined) four points back of fourth place in the Combined Standings and the final postseason berth. Making matters more difficult on Saturday, Miami will be without Kwadwo Poku (red card) and Gabriel Farfán (yellow-card accumulation).
