New York RB and New England have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Major League Soccer.
The hosts York saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Major League Soccer. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Chicago Fire.
7-11-12 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for New England when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 30 matches are 45-64 (scored/conceded).
These teams have little in common geographically as New England have to travel 2300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
New York RB form and stats
When playing at home in the Major League Soccer, New York RB have managed 3 wins, 1 draw and suffered 4 defeats from 8 games. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for York.
York shared the glory with Chicago Fire in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Orlando City that ended 1-1.
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 York have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost two.
There will be little rest for New York RB after this match as they are travelling to New York City for a Major League Soccer game in only four days.
The York fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, York have conceded 11 goals.
New England form and stats
6 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of New England, who have the most points (21) away in Major League Soccer, playing as the away team in the Major League Soccer this season.
England has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Nashville SC for a Major League Soccer game that ended a draw (1-1). Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Philadelphia Union.
The draw against Nashville SC came from a losing position. The England manager B. Arena brought on Adam Buksa as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
We have checked recent matches where New England have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were two victories, five draws and one defeat.
A new game in only four days for England, the Major League Soccer home match versus DC United. Busy days.
England have scored 16 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. New England have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: New England - York 1-1. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for New York RB, two draws and four wins for New England. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.New York RB missing players
