🗞️ Team News: New York City FC

Jacob Arroyave (Knee injury) and Malachi Jones (Broken leg) will not be taking part for New York City FC boss Pascal Jansen.

In our view, The Pigeons may well go for a 4-2-3-1 system for this one, utilising Matt Freese, Tayvon Gray, Thiago Martins, Justin Haak, Nico Cavallo, Keaton Parks, Jonathan Shore, Hannes Wolf, Maxi Moralez, Agustin Ojeda and Alonso Martínez.

ℹ️ Team News: FC Cincinatti

There’s a good chance that FC Cincinatti seem likely to make use of a 3-4-2-1 system, settling for Roman Celentano, Miles Robinson, Matthew Miazga, Nick Hagglund, DeAndre Yedlin, Obinna Nwobodo, Brian Anunga, Lukas Engel, Luca Orellano, Evander and Kévin Denkey.

⚡ Prediction

Here, we’re thinking that FC Cincinatti will do well to break down this New York City FC outfit who we reckon will win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a very even contest with a 1-0 winning margin for New York City FC when the referee blows for full-time.

Should be interesting.
