NYCFC host New England Revolution at Citi Field on Wednesday, September 9 (8:00 PM ET / 7:00 PM CT / 5:00 PM PT).
New England Revolution arrive with the same front three expected to lead their line: Carles Gil pulling the strings through midfield, Dor Turgeman leading the press and Alhassan Yusuf offering the legs to break beyond him. NYCFC counter with their own headline act in Nicolás Fernández Mercau, whose fourteen goals make him the most productive player on either team sheet, with Axel Ojeda and Hannes Wolf offering further goal threat in support.
NYCFC sit seventh in the East and need results to close the gap, while New England arrive fourth with thirty-seven points and a plus-nine goal difference that speaks to the control they’ve shown in games this season. The visitors’ recent run of L L W D W includes wins either side of a draw with this very opponent, while NYCFC’s D L L D D stretch has been a case of games staying tight rather than getting away from either side. Expect Fernández Mercau and Gil to shape the key moments, with a narrow finish tilting NYCFC’s way at home.
