Prediction: 2-0
Colorado Rapids
All eyes will be on Yankee Stadium when New York City and Colorado Rapids lock horns in an eagerly-awaited Major League Soccer game. The Blue Pigeons are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win and it is no wonder the odds for home win have been dropping. Costa Rica forward Alonso Martinez should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring a late winner against Charlotte, while all Thiago Martins, Rio Hope-Gund, Talles Magno, and Maxi Moralez remain in the recovery room.
The Rapids, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Cincinnati and given New York City’s fine form in MLS, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. The likes of Lalas Aboubakar, Jasper Loffelsend, Jonathan Lewis, Connor Ronan, and Daniel Chacon are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. Midfielder Omir Fernandez is pushing for a start.
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.
