New York City Philadelphia Union betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

New York City FC will have the advantage of playing alongside their fans in this next round and want to take advantage of this fact, so that they can score the three points. Philadelphia Union are making a great campaign so far, but know that in the next match they will not find facilities, therefore they will have to be very attentive throughout the match. The hosts should go all over their opponents, but they can leave empty spaces, which can be exploited by the visitors. Our betting suggestion will be for both teams to score goals in this match.

In 14 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

New York City's goal is to be among the best teams of Major League Soccer and if possible fight for the title. On the other hand, the team have not yet managed to get closer to the leaders and need to keep evolving, after all they want to be better ranked. Next to their fans it is evident that they want a good result and know that at the moment the ideal would be a victory. The difficulty will exist and therefore the hosts need to be more careful, but have already shown improvement and want to continue growing. Today the focus is not to give margin to errors to be able to beat the leader of the conference.
The New Yorkers are able to face any opponent and in this round is no different, but they will not have ease in their duel. This makes the home team need to redouble their attention not to be surprised. Therefore, New York City should respect the opponent, but must not have attitude. If they play the best they know, they can conquer a positive score and in a moment of growth this is fundamental. In this match Joe Scally, Ben Sweat and James Sands will be out for being in the medical department.
