New York City vs Los Angeles FC Preview
Sunday's football game at Yankee Stadium sees New York City FC, who desperately need to rediscover their form after a disappointing run of results, take on Los Angeles FC. The Blue Pigeons' latest setback was a 2-0 defeat to Inter Miami, and Pascal Jansen must also cope with several injury absences, including Maxi Moralez, Keaton Parks and Kai Trewin. Wolf and O’Toole are pushing for starting roles, but NYCFC need a much sharper attacking display after averaging just 0.33 goals per home game in the supplied statistics.
Los Angeles FC head into the match with renewed confidence after beating Austin 3-1 in midweek. Denis Bouanga and Son Heung-Min both found the net, giving the Black and Gold a dangerous attacking partnership to trouble a vulnerable home defence. Although their away form has been inconsistent, LAFC have enough individual quality to take advantage of NYCFC’s struggles, particularly if their forward duo carry their recent momentum into this fixture.
With 75% of the last four H2H meetings producing over 2.5 goals, this betting option should be considered, alongside Los Angeles FC to Win and Los Angeles DNB as the attacking partnership of Son and Bouanga seems to be in a perfect working order.
