Command Analysis

New York City FC

Current form
The championship was not easy for New York City. The team barely made it to the playoffs, finishing in sixth place. However, the difficulties did not end there: three tense matches with Cincinnati in the 1/8 playoffs ended with a victory for New York City, but everything was decided in the last match in a penalty shootout, where the hosts of the upcoming match were a little luckier, securing a ticket to the quarterfinals. The upcoming opponent is no simpler than the previous opponent, so the tests of strength will continue.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jones will be out with a broken leg.
Interesting trends for betting
- New York City have failed to score in three of their last four games.
- At home, New York City have not lost in four games in a row.
Probable line-up: Frese - Simon, Martins, Risa, O'Toole - Sands, Perea, Parkes - Wolf, Martinez, Rodriguez.

New York Red Bulls

Current form
The New York Red Bulls finished the regular season in seventh place. The results of the last matches are not impressive. In the last five matches, the visitors won only one victory, played one draw and suffered three defeats. The fight for a place in the quarterfinals was with the Columbus Crew. Like the upcoming opponent, they had to play three matches, and in the third match everything was decided in a series of post-match penalties. Let see if fortune will also smile on the visitors in the upcoming match.
Disqualifications and injuries
Duncan and Mitchell will be out with injuries.

Over the last ten matches, the visitors have won only twice in regulation time.

We are inclined to believe that New York City will continue its successful performance at its arena and will achieve another victory in front of local fans.
Our prediction is a victory for New York City with odds of 2.19
Bet on total
This year, the teams have played each other twice, and in both games both the hosts and the visitors managed to score.
