Minnesota United vs New York City tips and predictions

Persistence may be difference for New York City

With 18 points Minnesota United take on New York City, on 23 points. There are 7 positions between these two.

The jury is out on this one but it should be a good game. The away team has the edge when you consider their chances and the prices available. It's difficult to envisage anything but an open attacking contest here as the visitors will be seeking a positive result.

This isn't a foregone conclusion. The evidence suggests that the hosts could struggle. Minnesota United are in some frustratingly patchy form. They've lost 4 of their last 7 matches. They have conceded at least once in all of their last 7 games. It remains to be seen if they can plug those gaps in time.

In a clash that has varied opinions, there is plenty of sense in backing the visitors. New York City have won 7 of their last 9 campaigns. Impressively they've scored 2.4 goals on average over their last 9 games and if they're at their best they can have success here. Their organisation at the back could be significant in this clash. They have conceded a mere once in their last 7 games.

Aside from the match winner pick, the Both Teams To Score No is the recommendation. And for fans of the goal line, it's under 2.5 goals for this one given the current odds.
