The Pigeons are on a run of four consecutive wins

New York City FC are one of the most impressive teams in the league at the moment, having won four straight matches. The Pigeons are currently eight points behind Inter Miami in the Eastern Conference as a result of their recent run of good form. Nick Cushing knows his side needs to improve on finishing the chances after missing two big chances in their last match to win in nervy fashion.

San Jose are enduring a tough season as they are in the bottom two of the MLS Western Conference league. A poor record for any team is the fact that the team has only collected 11 points in the 15 matches it has played so far in the competition. They have also been hampered by injuries and will now miss Akapo and Costa as both will be suspended. The San Jose Sharks have not won any of their last four matches, drawing one and losing three.

Player to Watch

Santiago Rodriguez (New York City)

Santiago Rodriguez has become the team’s main creative force in the league this season from the attacking midfield position, consistently putting in impressive performances for the team. During this season, he has scored five goals and provided three assists for the team. He creates opportunities for his teammates, as well as scoring crucial goals for his team. Additionally, the Uruguayan international plays an active role in defence, winning back the ball in dangerous situations to help his teammates.

Cristian Espinoza (San Jose)

While the team has experienced an underwhelming season this season, the Argentinian international has been one of their shining lights. Espinoza has scored two goals and provided eight additional assists for the team. By using his vision and creativity, he has created chances for the team. Despite playing predominantly on the right side of the field, he is equally comfortable playing in a variety of positions forward.
