Sporting KC New York City betting prediction

The away team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a away win by (1‑2) against Orlando City. 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 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 9 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 16 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches NYCFC has a record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 9 points out of 30 possible. In their away league matches there are a few frequent results at half‑time: 1‑0 (4 out of 11 matches) and 0‑0 (4 out of 11 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of the last 11 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 22 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have only turned the score around in 3. In the last 11 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

New York City, meanwhile, sprang a surprise in the previous round. They were coming off a very poor away record so far in Major League Soccer, but managed to pick up a very important win over Orlando City, who hadn't lost at their stadium for some time. Now, with morale high, they come to this new challenge this season knowing that, by sticking to their strategy, they have a real chance of overcoming Sporting KC, who recently lost to the Sounders.

Confirmed Lineup: Matthew Freese, Thiago Martins, Kevin O'Toole, Tayvon Gray, Maxi Moralez, Andrés Perea, Aiden O'Neill, Justin Haak, Jonathan Shore, Adrian Martínez Batista, Julián Fernández.
