Wednesday night brings us action from the American MLS with our next preview featuring a clash between New York City and Toronto as the betting tips continue at the Yankee Stadium, with an emotional evening ahead of us as we remember the tragic events of 9/11.
New York City Prediction – Can New York City win 6 on trot?
Following an excellent 5-match winning streak, New York City sit top of the Eastern Conference with a 2-point cushion over 2nd placed Philadelphia Union with a game in hand over their Conference rivals which is tonight’s clash against Toronto.
Recent victories against Cincinnati, Columbus Crew, New York Red Bulls, Vancouver Whitecaps and New England Revolution have given the hosts plenty of positive momentum heading into this Wednesday night encounter at Yankee Stadium where the hosts possess a solid home record of 9-4-1 27/13 under their belts so far this season.
The hosts have also won their last 5 matches at home on the trot and have scored a total of 11 goals and conceded just 5 in reply, and with goals being provided from various personnel, New York City look in good shape here.
Forwards Heber (14 goals) and Castellanos (10 goals) along with midfielder Moralez (7 goals, 11 assists) look the most dangerous goal threats for the hosts, who won their last encounter against Toronto at home 2-1 back in June last year.
Toronto Prediction – Can Toronto extend unbeaten run?
Following a 5-match sequence without defeat overall, Wednesday night’s visitors, Toronto, will be in reasonably confident mood when they make their way to Yankee Stadium for this clash against the Eastern Conference leaders, New York City.
Two wins and three draws for Toronto have helped the Canadian outfit to consolidate their top seven spot with wins against Montreal Impact 2-1 at home and a 5-1 win away at Cincinnati along with points picked up in draws against Orlando City, Columbus Crew and New England Revolution.
However, results away from home have produced a more mixed return for Toronto as the visitors have picked up just 2 wins out of their last 11 matches on their travels, which were victories at Montreal Impact and the aforementioned Cincinnati.
5 defeats from these last 11 away matches though suggests a soft underbelly to this Toronto side who have registered an away record of 4-4-6 19/22 on the road so far this season, and have kept just 2 clean sheets from their 14 away matches to date this term.
Key-Facts – New York City v Toronto
- New York City have won their last 5 home matches on the trot
- Toronto have lost 5 of their last 11 away matches in the MLS
- New York City won the last encounter at home against Toronto 2-1
Betting Tips Verdict
New York City possess a strong record at home and should at the very least avoid defeat here but look likely to collect all 3 points here.
