A nice win for York last time playing, versus New York RB. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Callens and Rodríguez scoring for the victors. Finally, a league win after five games without one. Callens, defender, was given a rating of 8.43/10 in that game, top of the team. Callens scored one goal and won 5 of 13 duels.
Ahead of that match, a home win hosting Atlas in the Campeones Cup. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how New York City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 1 and lost 3.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (35 in 16 games), New York City's attacking play is working. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. York have conceded 18 in these home matches.
