Action continues in MLS as New York City FC and New England Revolution go head-to-head at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday. This will be their second meeting within the space of three weeks, with both sides playing out a 1-1 stalemate at Gillette Stadium on August 23.
New York City FC added another underwhelming result to their growing list last Saturday when they played out a goalless draw with Nashville at Yankee Stadium.
Thanks for the submission!
Pascal Jansen’s men have gone seven consecutive matches without a win, claiming three draws and losing four, including back-to-back defeats against Cruz Azul and Club Necaxa in the Leagues Cup back in August.
This drop-off in form has put New York City’s playoff qualification hopes in the balance, as they now sit seventh in the Eastern Conference standings with 29 points from 23 games, just two points above 10th-placed New York Red Bulls outside the qualifying places.
Meanwhile, New England Revolution were made to rue their wasteful display in front of goal last weekend when they fell to a 2-1 loss against LA Galaxy at the Dignity Health Sports Park.
It has been a topsy-turvy run of results in recent weeks for Marko Mitrovic’s side, who have managed just two wins from their last seven matches while losing three and claiming two draws since the start of August.
Despite their recent struggles, the Revs are well on course to secure playoff qualification, as they sit fourth in the East with 37 points from 23 games, one point above third-placed Chicago Fire.
New York City FC vs New England Revolution Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- New York City FC hold a slight upper hand in the history of this fixture, having won 12 of the last 31 meetings between the two teams.
- New England Revolution have picked up one fewer win in that time, while the spoils have been shared on eight occasions.
- New York City FC are unbeaten in their last six home games against Mitrovic’s men, picking up five wins and one draw since a 3-2 loss in June 2021.
- New England Revolution have failed to win five of their last seven MLS away games, losing three and claiming two draws since April 26.
New York City FC vs New England Revolution Prediction
While they have struggled to get going, New York City will feel they can come away with something against a New England side who have seen their form take a dip in recent weeks. The Revs have struggled to impose themselves on the road, and given their record at Yankee Stadium, we predict both sides will cancel out each other’s efforts once again.
