New York City Minnesota United betting prediction

The home team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after having eliminated Atlanta United with a away loss by (4‑3) in the previous round. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 31 goals scored and 25 conceded. In the last 10 home matches NYCFC has won 5, tied 3 and lost 2. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 20 of the last 21 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

New York City have had a shaky start to the season and need to put in a more consistent performance if they are to climb the table. Playing at home, the team has the opportunity to impose itself, seeking control of possession and pressing the opposition. However, Minnesota United's quality demands attention and precision in all areas. The defense must avoid mistakes that could compromise the result, while the attack must be more efficient in creating plays. The home factor can be a difference, provided the team maintains its intensity throughout the 90 minutes. If they want a good result, New York City will need to minimize mistakes and raise their level of play.

Confirmed Lineup: Matt Freese, Mitja Ilenčič, Thiago Martins , Kevin O'Toole, Birk Risa, Justin Haak, Maxi Moralez, Keaton Parks , Hannes Wolf, Alonso Martínez, Julián Fernández.
Coach: R. Deila.
