Our prediction for this MLS match:
A spot in the MLS Cup quarter-finals will be at stake when Cincinnati and New York City take on each other at TQL Stadium on Saturday evening. Each team won their home game in this tie and, as a result, Cincinnati are seen as favourites to advance to the next round. All Foster, Hagglund, Kann, and Miazga remain in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Blue Pigeons, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-1 win over Cincinnati at their Yankee Stadium, but seeing that Uruguay midfielder Santiago Rodriguez misses the decider through suspension, we are tempted to place our bets on the home side this time out. It has to be noted that Cincinnati have defeated New York City in each of the previous four meetings between the two sides at TQL Stadium.
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.
