Competition: MLS
Market: New York City win
Odds: 8/15 @ 1xBet
Looking to extend on their recent flurry, New York City will welcome Nashville to the Yankee Stadium on Sunday night.
Starting with the hosts, while New York might have shown a string of glaring issues on either side of September’s international break, the Pigeons have certainly claimed a much-welcomed boost over the past week. Claiming what was an action-packed 3-2 victory at home against Cincinnati in the early hours of Thursday, Nick Cushing’s men have collected back-to-back MLS wins for the first time since the start of July. Making a famous statement last weekend as they secured a thumping 5-1 romp against bitter local rivals New York Red Bulls, the Sky Blues will be smelling another potential opportunity here. Although they might be seeking some crucial defensive stability, Cushing’s men will take plenty of positives from their success on home soil. In fact, Sunday’s hosts have lost just one of their previous seven appearances at the Yankee Stadium across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to June 15th.
As for the visitors, now seeking a miracle in the race to snatch another play-off ticket this season, the Coyotes have the feel of a squad limping their way over the finishing line. Suffering what was an infamous collapse at home against DC United earlier in the week as they eventually fell to a 4-3 defeat at Geodis Park, the Tennessee-based outfit have remarkably won just a pair of their previous 15 appearances across all competitions – a rut that stems all the way back to June 23rd. Heading into September’s international break with a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Orlando, it should also be noted that Sunday’s guests have lost 12 of those 15 consecutive matchups. Likewise facing what should be a real challenge here, gaining a real reputation for their glaring issues on the road, Nashville have also lost seven of their last eight showdowns away from Geodis Park.
Bet: New York City 8/15 to beat Nashville in Sunday’s MLS matchup @ 1xBet
