New York City (Eastern Conference 5th Place / LLLWW)

New York City's problem is the significant difference in performance between home and away games. Especially at home, their game control drops, resulting in significantly lower scoring. Of the 32 goals they have scored this season, only 7 were scored away. However, it is somewhat reassuring that New York City does not concede many goals when they temporarily drop their line.

- Absentees: Jones (RW / A-grade)

It is reasonable to expect a draw. Austin, playing at home, is in good form offensively. Although New York City concedes fewer goals away, their scoring power is lacking in a less dominant scenario. Austin's defense is not solid either, hence a tight contest is anticipated.
