Prediction: 2-1
New York City
All eyes will be on BMO Stadium when Los Angeles FC and New York City lock horns in an eagerly-awaited MLS game. Los Angeles FC kicked off the new MLS campaign in style, with the team beating Minnesota United thanks to Jeremy Ebobisse’s goal and they are seen as hot favourites to win Sunday’s clash as well. Lorenzo Dellavalle remains in the recovery room, but the 20-year-old should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Blue Pigeons, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Inter Miami. As New York City are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Sierra Leone forward Malachi Jones continues to miss out with injury for the visiting team, while Jonathan Shore is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
Highlighted Team (Los Angeles FC):
Seeing that Los Angeles FC will be competing in Major League Soccer from the 2018 season, the club chiefs did well to reinforce the squad. Several high-profile players joined the club in the winter of 2018, with Mexican ace Carlos Vela being the biggest name to sign a deal with LAFC.
The new expansion team will host their rivals at Banc of California, the stadium which is planned to be opened on April 29, 2018. The venue should hold up to 22,000 spectators. Los Angeles FC will be coached by Bob Bradley in the 2018 MLS campaign and they will be wearing black and gold kits in the USA professional soccer league. Speaking of their bitterest rivals, there will be fireworks when Los Angeles FC face LA Galaxy in the Major League Soccer.
District 9 Ultras and Black Army 1850 are considered the club's biggest supporters groups and it has to be noted that they used to support Chivas USA. Los Angeles FC were founded on October 30, 2014.
