The New York Red Bulls are in the midst of an important Eastern Conference Semifinal showdown in the 2013 MLS Playoffs with the Houston Dynamo, and it's all coming down to a second-leg match on Wednesday night.

The two sides finished Saturday's opening leg with a 2-2 draw in Houston, where goals by Tim Cahill and Eric Alexander helped the Red Bulls cancel out a red card and come back to Red Bull Arena playing for an appearance in the MLS semifinals.

Here's everything you need to know for the upcoming match.

Red Bulls Player to Watch: Thierry Henry

The international star was quiet in the first leg on Saturday, but don't expect that to be the case at home in this crucial match.

Henry finished the season with 10 goals, second on the club behind Tim Cahill—who scored in Houston Saturday. His last appearance of the regular season produced a goal in a 5-2 rout over Chicago.

The Dynamo kept New York's offensive attack to just two shots on goal, both of which were scores. But that won't be the case on Wednesday with everything on the line, as Henry will show why he was one of the world's best in his prime and come up big in the clutch. 

Henry came to the MLS to win championships, and he hasn't done so just yet. There's no doubting that he's hungry to stake his claim this season, after winning the Supporters' Shield for the league's best regular season record. 

The Red Bulls are on a mission this season, and it's being led by experienced veterans Cahill and Henry. Look for the Frenchman to make his presence felt in this showdown. 

Dynamo Player to Watch: Will Bruin

After taking care of business against Montreal, the Dynamo face quite a bit tougher of a test against New York and they found that out on Saturday. It took a 90th-minute goal to secure a draw against the Red Bulls, who were playing with just 10 men. 

Despite the comeback, usual star Will Bruin was not one of the scorers even though he took three shots on the contest—none of which were on goal.

Bruin was scorching in the regular season, posting 10 goals, and the Dynamo will need more of the same if they want any chance at advancing to the conference finals and keeping their MLS Cup bid alive. 

The 24-year-old continues to dazzle and evolve into a MLS star, and he has his biggest chance yet at building his legend on Wednesday. 

Prediction

Even in a draw to open the playoffs, the MLS' best team in 2013 still found a way to look good on Saturday by drawing on the road with 10 men.

Returning home, it's hard to see the Red Bulls' offensive attack do anything other than improve. You can't count on Henry not impacting the game in two straight appearances.
