New York City
High-flying Orlando City will look to extend their winning run to five games when they take on New York City on Sunday morning. The Lions look unstoppable at the moment and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-oriented approach against New York City. Barring any fresh injury worries, Oscar Pareja is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed Nashville 3-0.
The Blue Pigeons, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league matches. As New York City are on a five-game winless run on the road, home win should definitely be considered. Midfielder James Sands is back from suspension, while all Andres Perea, Tayvon Gray, Kevin OToole, and Malachi Jones are out of contention with injuries. In their last meeting in MLS New York City outplayed Orlando City 4-2, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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.
