Our prediction for this MLS match:
Yankee Stadium will host Thursday’s football game between New York City and CF Montreal, the two teams who defeated Orlando City and Philadelphia Union respectively in their last league matches. The Blue Pigeons did well to put an end to their three-game losing run, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they do not want to stop now. Sierra Leone international Malachi Jones limped off with injury in the last league match, with Axel Agustin Ojeda likely to step up.
The Canadian outfit, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of struggling on the travels. As CF Montreal have suffered three defeats in the last four away games, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the midweek fixture. All Mathieu Choiniere, Joel Waterman, and Samuel Piette are on the international duty, speaking of the away team.
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.
