Competition: MLS
Market: Gyasi Zardes to score anytime
Odds: 11/10 @ Bet 365
Looking to close the gap at the top of the Eastern Conference, New York City will travel to the MAPFRE Stadium in the early hours of Sunday morning when they face a high-flying Columbus Crew outfit.
Starting with Gregg Berhalter’s Columbus side, although they may have suffered a tough period between June and July, The Crew have bounced back well. The Yellow and Blacks have now only lost one of their last five and have won their last three home matches on the bounce. One man to watch for the hosts will be their leading goalscorer Gyasi Zardes to carry on his form this year. With 15 goals in the MLS this season, he is the third leading goalscorer in the division and has impressed at the MAPFRE Stadium. The 26-year-old has three goals in his last two home matches.
As for Domènec Torrent’s New York City side, although they may have started brightly under the former Manchester City coach, The Sky Blues have begun to struggle. Despite picking up a point against bitter rivals the Red Bulls last week, NYC have picked up just one win in their last five. Losing 2-0 to Philadelphia in their last away matchup, it will be their defensive record concerning Torrent the most. Without a clean sheet in their last five, they have also shipped 10 goals over the past month.
Bet: Gyasi Zardes 11/10 to score anytime against New York City in Sundays MLS matchup @ Bet 365
