Prediction: 1-1
Cincinnati
New York City will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Toronto when they take on Cincinnati in the closing match of Sunday’s program. The Blue Pigeons want to stay in the playoffs berth, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for Pascal Jansen’s troops. Both Mitja Ilenic and Malachi Jones are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Cincinnati, on the other hand, are on a five-game winning run in the Major League Soccer. New York City, though, are tough to beat at home, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on draw. Both Yuya Kubo and Teenage Hadebe are out of contention with injuries for the away team, while Ahoueke Denkey should keep his place in the starting XI after scoring a brace in a 2-1 win over Sporting Kansas City.
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.
