New York City
Charlotte take on New York City at Bank of America Stadium in the opening match of their MLS campaign. Charlotte were producing fine performances in pre-season, but they still face a tough challenge in their season opener. New signings Djibril Diani and Nikola Petkovic are likely to make their MLS debuts against the Blue Pigeons, while both Karol Swiderski and Kamil Jozwiak have been loaned out to Hellas Verona and Granada respectively.
New York City, on the other hand, recorded only one win in pre-season, with the team obviously struggling at the back. In the previous meetings between the two sides in MLS Charlotte and New York City played out a 1-1 draw and, taking everything into account, both teams to score betting option should be considered once again. As for the visitors, Maxi Moralez misses out with injury, while the likes of Hannes Wolf, Agustin Ojeda, and Jovan Mijatovic are the new faces in Nick Cushing’s 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.
