Prediction: 1-0
Toronto FC
New York City will be looking to put an end to their three-game losing run in MLS when they take on Toronto FC at their Yankee Stadium. The Blue Pigeons made a slow start to the season, but Saturday’s football game could be the turning point for Nick Cushing’s troops. All Talles Magno, Rio Hope-Gund, and Maxi Moralez are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Reds, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over New England Revolution and Charlotte. The Canadian outfit have yet to conceded a goal in the new MLS campaign, but preventing the hungry-for-victory hosts from finding the net in Saturday’s clash is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, one goal should separate the two sides in the Yankee Stadium showdown. Both Jordan Perruzza and Deandre Kerr are injured for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Lorenzo Insigne):
Born in Frattamaggiore, Naples on June 4, 1991, Lorenzo Insigne is an Italian footballer who plays for his hometown club Napoli in the Serie A. Insigne is a product of Olimpia Sant’Arpino football school, but he joined the Partenopei at the age of 15.
The diminutive attacker scored his first ever goal in the Italian top flight on September 16, 2012 in a 3-1 win over Parma. Insigne, who played for the likes of Cavese, Foggia and Pescara on loan before returning to Naples, made his debut with the Italian national team on September 11, 2012 in the World Cup qualifier against Malta.
The Napoli forward scored his first ever goal for the Azzurri in a friendly against Argentina on August 14, 2013. His main position is left winger, but he is used as a second striker as well. Lorenzo Insigne has a contract with Napoli until June 30, 2022.
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.
