While NYCFC would’ve hoped to have been taking an advantage to the Mercedes Benz Stadium with them on Sunday, it’s only 1-0 and City have shown they can score the requisite numbers of goals in this building on their only previous visit.

David Villa and Alex Ring both netted in the 2-2 draw there earlier in the Regular Season and, while that result wouldn’t be enough to secure a place in the Conference final, NYC are unquestionably still very much in this tie.

A 1-0 win takes us to extratime, while a 2-1 win secures our passage in 90’… when you consider there hasn’t been much to choose between these teams in the five previous meetings, it’s definitely not inconceivable that NYC could get the result they need in this crucial second leg.

In 2018, we’ve had multi-goal road games eight times, which is as many as any previous season, so there are reasons to believe.
