Prediction: 1-1
New York Red Bulls
Following a goalless draw with DC United, New York City will look to return to winning ways in MLS when they take on New York Red Bulls in the New York derby. The Blue Pigeons have been struggling offensively of late, but they are still seen as favourites to beat New York Red Bulls in front of home fans. Sierra Leone forward Malachi Jones remains in the recovery room, but the 21-year-old should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Metros, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team producing fine performances at home, while struggling on the travels. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards in the local derby and we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in Saturday’s encounter. The likes of Mitchell, Morales, Morgan, Nealis, and Ngoma are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side.
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.
