New York City vs Toronto Prediction and Betting Tips
New York City host Toronto at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday (September 23) in the MLS, looking to build on their last win and extend their unbeaten run to five games.
The Boys in Blue lost three in a row between July and August but have since anchored their ship by going their next four without a loss. The run began with a 2-0 defeat of Montreal followed by consecutive draws to Vancouver Whitecaps and New York Red Bulls and a 2-0 win over Orlando City.
With 34 points from 30 games, New York are up to tenth in the Eastern Conference table, five places above their next opponents, who've accrued 12 points fewer and are rock-bottom.
Toronto have endured a torrid campaign, winning only four times in 29 games. Their last win came against Philadelphia Union on August 30, securing a 3-1 victory, but have since lost twice more.
Head coach Bob Bradley was given the sack in June, with Terry Dunfield taking over on an interim basis, but he has been unable to steady the shinking ship.
