New York City form and stats

The overall Major League Soccer stats playing at home this season for New York City are 4-4-3 (wins-draws-losses). With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on York to get some points in this home game.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 184 minutes without scoring a league goal. Jasson was the last player to find the net.

New York City faced defeat in their previous match, away at Cincinnati (0-3). The striker Fernández bettered all the other footballers in that game and was awarded a match rating of 7.33 out of 10. Fernández hit two key passes and had 34 successful passes (of 42 total).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Minnesota United (0-2).

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier New York City matches with similar probabilities have ended with 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats (from 9 games).

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Vancouver Whitecaps are coming to town in three days.

Montreal Impact form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Montreal Impact so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-9 (win-draw-lose).

Montreal won their last game, 1-0 versus New England played at home. Campbell, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.84. Campbell scored one goal and won 5 of 6 duels.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Toronto with the score of 3-2.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Montreal Impact playing away, we found 6 games. Results were 0 away wins, 4 draws and 2 home wins.

Take note: 9 of the latest 10 league games featuring this side have had only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting words).

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Columbus Crew in just three days.

The attacking power of Montreal when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 13 league matches away. For Montreal Impact, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
