Our prediction for this MLS match:
St Louis City will look to recover from the CONCACAF Champions League defeat to Houston Dynamo when they take on New York city on Sunday morning. The CityPark outfit are eyeing their first league win of the season and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against the Blue Pigeons. Both Kyle Hiebert and Rasmus Alm are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
New York City, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Charlotte, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on St Louis City this time out. Midfielder Maxi Moralez remains on the sidelines with an ACL injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. It has to be noted that the two teams meet for the first time ever in the Major League Soccer.
Highlighted Team (New York City):
New York City are an American soccer club and they have been competing in Major League Soccer since 2015. The Pigeons play their home games at Yankee Stadium and they are the second club in New York after the New York Red Bulls.
Famous Arsenal player Patrick Vieira took over the reins in January, 2016 and he helped the team finish the season in second place in the Eastern Conference. However, they were totally outclassed by Toronto FC (0-7 on aggregate) in the conference semifinals.
New York City chiefs have been pumping up a lot of money into the squad ever since the team began play in MLS and it has to be noted that the likes of Andrea Pirlo and David Villa played for the Pigeons in the 2016 season. New York City footballers wear sky blue shirts when playing at home, while the colour of the team’s away kit is dark blue.
Companies City Football Group (80%) and Yankee Global Enterprises own the club.
