New York City host Los Angeles FC in a league game where both sides still need points to move up the table, with the hosts sitting 10th and the visitors 6th. New York City lost 0-2 in their last match and have now lost 2 in a row, with their attack clearly blunting of late, while Los Angeles FC just won 3-1 and are unbeaten in 2 straight. The visitors have also conceded fewer goals than the other side all season (32 compared to 40), even when playing away. This game is likely to shape up with Los Angeles FC mainly defending and waiting to counter, capitalizing on moments when New York City push high and lose the ball in midfield. If the hosts run into the same old problem of dominating possession but finishing poorly, the game is likely to end with the visitors coming away unscathed.
