Our prediction for this MLS match:
There will be fireworks when New York City and New York Red Bulls square off against each other in the MLS derby. The Blue Pigeons aim to build on back-to-back wins over Toronto and Philadelphia Union and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Both Rio Hope-Gund and Maxi Moralez are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Red Bulls, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach. A lively contest is on the cards at Yankee Stadium and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on over 2.5 goals. All Ronald Donkor, Peter Stroud, Roald Mitchell, and Serge Ngoma are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.
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.
