Prediction: 2-1
New York City
DC United will look to build on back-to-back wins over Toronto FC and Chicago Fire when they take on New York City on Sunday morning. The capital club have been scoring goals for fun of late and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against the Blue Pigeons. As before, a man to watch in the home team will be former Liverpool striker Christian Benteke, who has netted 18 goals in the Major League Soccer so far this season. Midfielder Mateusz Klich serves a one-game ban.
The visitors, on the other hand, struggled defensively in a 4-2 loss to Columbus Crew. Given New York City’s anything but good away record (3-4-7), we predict that the visitors are going to return to the “Big Apple” with their hands empty. In their last meeting at the venue DC United defeated New York City 2-0. Julian Fernandez is banned for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Christian Benteke):
Christian Benteke, born on 3th of December 1990 is a Belgian football player with roots from Congo. Benteke started his career at KRC Genk and after playing for Standard Liege, KV Mechelen, KV Kortrijk and Aston Villa the striker got transferred to Liverpool. Benteke is 191cm and is known for being a very strong goal scoring striker. In May 2010 Benteke made his debut for the Belgian national team.
Christian Benteke didn’t win any mayor prices yet. In the season 2008/2009 he won the national league of Belgium. Benteke is signed by Nike and got transferred to Liverpool for 46 million euro which makes him the second most expensive football player from Belgium. Benteke’s nickname is The Beast or Bentegoal.
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.
