New York City lived to fight again, winning the midfield contest at home last week. This gave them the opportunity to make the second round of the playoffs for the second time in three campaigns. That victory also snapped their two-match MLS losing run for them in their first post-season win since the 2022 Eastern Conference semi-finals (3-1 over CF Montreal).
New York have not been knocked out from the opening round of the playoffs since their shootout loss against Orlando City (6-5) in 2020 after that game in a 1-1 draw. They have come out victors in five of their last seven post-season affairs on the road, with the last one happening in Montreal in 2022.
MatchPlug Prediction For Cincinnati VS New York City
These clubs are great in football possession and attack a lot, but New York City has more experienced midfield players which will give them an edge over Cincinnati.
Final Prediction: New York City FC Moneyline.
