Match Preview
As New York City prepares to host Seattle Sounders at Yankee Stadium, both teams come into the match with contrasting recent form. NYC has shown resilience with a record of WWDWL in their last five outings, while Seattle's LWDWD suggests a team still searching for consistency. The home advantage could play a crucial role; NYC has historically performed well against Seattle, winning three of their last ten encounters, with the last meeting ending in a narrow victory for the New Yorkers. One key angle to consider is New York City's ability to score at home. They have consistently found the net, and with Seattle's defence showing vulnerabilities, particularly in away matches, this could be an opportunity for NYC to exploit. The Sounders will need to tighten their backline if they hope to secure a positive result. With both teams capable of scoring, the match promises to be an intriguing contest, and fans should expect an entertaining affair under the lights of Yankee Stadium.
