New York City FC and Toronto FC will meet again this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. EDT in a highly anticipated Eastern Conference matchup. The game odds are as follows: NYCFC +147, Toronto FC +175, Draw +237, with an over/under of 2.5 goals.
In recent form, Toronto FC has been impressive, winning four of their last six games and scoring 15 goals in the process. Federico Bernardeschi has been instrumental in their attacks, scoring two goals against Dallas in their latest victory. They have a solid defense, allowing only 14 goals so far this season and ranking third in the conference for clean sheets.
On the other hand, NYCFC has been struggling recently, losing three of their last five games and scoring just eight goals during that period. Despite this setback, they remain one of the best teams in the league when it comes to scoring goals with Santiago Rodriguez leading the way with four goals so far this season. Adrian Alonso Martinez Batista has also scored two goals in their last 10 games.
Both teams have played each other twice this season already – once in July and once earlier this month – with Toronto winning both games by narrow margins (2-1). This means that both sides are familiar with each other’s strengths and weaknesses going into Saturday’s game.
As for injuries, several key players will be absent from the game due to various reasons. Toronto will be missing Brandon Servania, Richie Laryea, Shane O’Neill, Lorenzo Insigne and Jonathan Spector while NYCFC will be without Rio Hope-Gund, Talles Magno and Maxi Moralez among others. These absences could affect each team’s performance on the field but may also provide opportunities for some young players to step up and make a name for themselves.
Overall, both teams are looking forward to a thrilling matchup that is sure to be full of excitement and tension throughout its duration.
