My Prediction
New York City FC by 1Alright people, let's take a deep dive into this matchup between New York City FC and Toronto FC.
Starting with the keepers, we've got Toronto's Sean Johnson with a decent season rating of 7.30 and 9 saves, a man who knows how to guard his net. On the other hand, we've got not one but two shots stoppers for New York City FC, Tomás Romero and Matthew Freese, both with impressive ratings and making serious saves, Romero coming out slightly ahead with a 7.50 rating.
Looking at the major players, Toronto's standout player has to be Alonso Coello with a neat 7.57 rating, a goal under his belt and that sweet accurate pass percentage. Jonathan Osorio and Deybi Flores are also strong contributors, although they need to up their game when it comes to getting goals on the score sheet.
On the flip side, New York City brings its own heavyweights to the field. Hannes Wolf has been in scorching form jamming 4 goals in the past month and boasting an 8.17 rating, while Keaton Parks can't hit a goal but he sure knows how to find his men with an unmatched accurate pass percentage.
Their historical results tilt in favor of New York, with three wins to Toronto's two and their season records also reveal the same pattern. And recently, while Toronto dusted Portland Timbers 3-0, they've suffered a few bumps along the way while New York has shown great versatility, bouncing back from defeats to win games and even holding their own in a draw against Nashville SC.
Taking all this into consideration, I'd say New York has a slight edge over Toronto.
In conclusion:
