Prediction: 2-1
Atlanta United
New York City play host to Atlanta United at their Yankee Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting MLS game. The Blue Pigeons did not make a perfect start to the season, with the team already suffering four defeats in the process, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the Five Stripes in front of home fans. All Birk Risa, Jovan Mijatovic, Talles Magno, and Maxi Moralez are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Five Stripes, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Toronto FC, with the team beating Chicago Fire 3-0 at the weekend. New York City, though, do not suit Atlanta United, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. Defender Stian Gregersen remains in the recovery room, while Jamal Thiare should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring a brace in the last league match.
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.
