Our prediction for this MLS match:
New York City play host to San Jose Earthquakes at their Yankee Stadium on Saturday morning. The Blue Pigeons are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win and they are surely capable of beating San Jose in front of home fans. Midfielder James Sands is back from suspension, while both Rio Hope-Gund and Maxi Moralez are out of contention with injuries.
The Earthquakes, on the other hand, have been struggling to find their best form of late. As San Jose have collected only one point in total from the last three league matches, we are tempted to bet on New York City this time out. In each of their last four meetings in the Major League Soccer New York City defeated San Jose Earthquakes and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. To make things even worse for the away team, both Carlos Akapo and Vitor Costa are sidelined through suspension.
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.
