2.59Tip and bets
New York City will clearly be in a determined mood today – there is a risk of even being knocked out of the top seven, so the hosts will clearly have no problems with motivation. Despite their poor form, the Citizens are quite capable of getting three points – Philadelphia is significantly inferior in terms of player selection, and five of their last six away games were lost, so it makes sense to give preference to the hosts.
We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on New York City . This bet is offered with odds of 2.19
Bet on total
New York City traditionally bets on attacking football at home and regularly scores a lot, and today the Citizens will most likely be as aggressive in attack as possible in an attempt to break their losing streak. Philadelphia is extremely vulnerable away, but will probably also take risks – there is a chance to get into the playoff zone. In such a match, it makes sense to count on a goal extravaganza.
Bet - total over three goals. This bet is offered for 1.75
Bet on corners
New York City are the favorites and will likely spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
The bet is Asian handicap (-2) on corners for New York City. This bet is offered for 1.95
