My Prediction
New York City FC by 1Let's talk shop about this impending clash between New York City FC and the Houston Dynamo.
In between the sticks, each team has their reliable figure. For the Dynamo, Jonathan Bond has been impressive with a 7.05 rating and 20 critical saves this season. Meanwhile, Matthew Freese is keeping things similarly tight for NYC FC, boasting a rating of 7.15 with 15 saves.
The Dynamo's offensive threat is quite apparent with Jack McGlynn leading the team's charge. With an impressive 7.62 rating, 1 goal, and 87.8% pass accuracy, McGlynn is clearly setting a high standard. Not to be overshadowed, Griffin Dorsey and Felipe Andrade, each with 2 goals to their name this season should also not be taken lightly by the opposition.
Now, turning our gaze to NYC FC, we find Julián Fernández at the forefront of their top players' list. A 7.42 rating and 1 goal show Fernández knows his role well. His teammate, Maxi Moralez, also stands out this season. With a keen eye for the game and a goal under his belt, his role can't be underestimated.
Recalling the yesteryear fights of these two, the Dynamo did get the better of NYC FC, with a 1-0 win last time they matched up. However, looking at their recent forms, NYC FC seems to have ironed out some kinks with a healthier winning record this season.
Throwing every bit of this data into my ol' prognostication machine, and I can't help but forecast a win for New York City FC.
