Match description
I predict an away win (2). New York City in the last 5 matches has won 3 times, scored 7 goals and conceded only 4, averaging 1.8 points per match, while New York RB in that period has 2 wins, 7 scored and 10 conceded and 1.2 points per match. The hosts attack more intensively at home — averaging 2.0 goals per match with 12.83 shots and 4.17 on target, xG For for the hosts is 1.57 versus 1.09 xG For for the visitors on the road and a higher conversion rate (16% vs 10%). However, NYRB concedes as many as 2.17 goals per home match (30 conceded season-to-date), while the visitors concede on average 1.0 goal away (18 conceded season-to-date) and in the last 5 matches allowed 4 goals versus RB’s 10, which gives New York City a defensive edge. As a result I assign a 45% chance to an away win, 35% to the home side and 20% to a draw.
