Our prediction for this MLS match:
Lower.com Field will host Sunday’s football game between Columbus Crew and New York City, the two top-table sides. The Crew aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Philadelphia Union and they surely want to give fans yet another reason to celebrate. Goalkeeper Evan Bush remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Blue Pigeons, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last four MLS games and, no doubt, they would be happy with yet another share of spoils on Sunday morning. New York City, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Both Andres Perea and Malachi Jones are injured for the visiting team, while the opposition back-line should have Costa Rica forward Alonso Martinez at bay.
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.
