Our prediction for this MLS match:
In-form New York City will look to overtake Orlando City in fourth place when they take on Nashville on Sunday. The Blue Pigeons were at their sharpest in back-to-back wins over New York Red Bulls (5-1) and Cincinnati (3-2) and they are seen as hot favourites to beat the Coyotes as well. All Perea, Sands, and Thiago Martins are banned for the match, but New York City have strength in depth.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive. As Nashville are likely to adopt an attack-oriented strategy in Sunday’s clash, we predict that the hosts will seal the triumph on the break. Daniel Lovitz is banned for the away team, while Tyler Boyd and Lukas Macnaughton are out of contention with injuries. You should know that last time out New York City defeated Nashville 2-1 at Yankee Stadium.
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.
