New York City FC vs Toronto FC Prediction: Toronto are not unbeatable.

New York City will play their 4th game of the season against Toronto FC. The game will take place at the Yankee Stadium, home ground to New York City.

New York City are currently 14th in the Eastern Conference with 0 points, while Toronto are in 5th with 7 points in the same Conference.

New York City FC

New York City continues their search for a win after suffering 3 defeats in their opening 3 games. They prepare to take on Toronto FC at home and they hope they can find a positive result from this game.

New York City played their last game against Portland Timbers and they lost by 2 goals to 1. Santiago Rodriguez gave them the early lead in just 10 minutes but they conceded 2 goals in the second half and the game ended up in a defeat. It was another disappointing result for the team despite their efforts in the game. They had 40% possession, 6 shots on target and 7 corner kicks. They also created 4 big chances but they missed all 4 of them.

New York City manager Nicholas Cushing was left disappointed with the composure of the team in the defeat against Portland Timbers, especially with the attackers. He will be expected to make some changes to get the best from his players in the forthcoming game. Maybe it's time to turn his attention to the players on the bench.

Toronto FC

Toronto FC believe they can get the win from this game and that's because they are clearly the better team in this clash. They had 2 wins and 1 draw in the 3 games they've played so far this season.

Toronto defeated Charlotte FC in their last game and the scoreline was 1-0. The game was heading to a draw until Lorenzo Insigne scored in the 80th minute to give Toronto all 3 points at the end. Toronto's stats during the game were: 59% possession, 3 shots on target and 6 corner kicks. They also created 1 big chance throughout the game.

Toronto manager John Herdman will be pleased by the results of the team so far but there's still a lot to be done in the team. Especially in the chances created per game. Toronto have scored just 2 games in 3 matches and they need to do better. Especially when they still have to play against better teams later in the season.
