Free NYCFC vs. Toronto FC MLS Final Analysis:
Heading into this game, look for NYFC to benefit from taking a Toronto defense that has struggled defensively. On the season, Toronto’s opponents have found the net 8 times. So far, Toronto’s defense have allowed 24 on target shot attempts, 5th most in the MLS.
Even though NYCFC have yet to find their groove on offense, ranking 26th in on target shot percentage at just 23%. However, they have done a good job generating shots as a whole, averaging 14.75 shots per game.
Look for this to be the game that New York breaks out on offense, leading to a big win over Toronto. In addition, I recommend taking the over, in what should be a high-scoring contest.
