My Prediction
New York City FC by 2Now, let's go star gazing, shall we? In the New York City FC corner, the spotlight falls on Hannes Wolf. The man's been firing on all cylinders with 5 goals and an 8.12 rating. Let's not forget about Justin Haak, no goals in his bag but with a whopping 90% accurate pass, the man holds the strings in the midfield. A little birdy also tells me Andrés Perea's been making waves with his 85.3% accurate pass.
Let's see who's on the other side of the fence. CF Montreal has Prince-Osei Owusu netting 2 goals with a 7.17 rating, and Victor Loturi also making an impression with a 7.13 rating and 89.9% accurate pass rate. That's some pleasant footwork, I tell you.
Now, let me put on my nerdy glasses and talk goalkeepers. New York City FC has two giants in goal - Tomás Romero with a 7.60 rating and Matthew Freese holding strong at 6.77. Montreal might need to tighten things up in the goal as Jonathan Sirois comes in at 6.10.
If we take a stroll down memory lane, the past matchups show an alternating dance of wins between New York City FC and CF Montreal. Recent results also paint a complex picture. New York City FC seems to be regaining momentum with a splendid 4-0 rout of Atlanta United FC. CF Montreal, on the other hand, lost a tooth and nail match against FC Cincinnati 1-0, but scored an impressive win against Houston Dynamo 3-1. Both teams have had their share of ups and downs.
Looking at season records, New York City FC stands tall with 8 wins while CF Montreal might need a map just to find victory lane with mere 2 wins.
In terms of money...well, you did not hear this from me, but the cards seem slightly stacked in New York City FC's favor. But as they say, the beautiful game is played on grass not paper.
Taking all these into account, it reminds me of that time when I tried to teach my grandmother to use a smartphone. Confusing, right? But what we do know is that in soccer, it can all change in 90 minutes.
