The nickname given to NYCFC has been the Pigeons, some fans love it, some hate it. They should really be the Wanderers though as they seem to play at whatever field will host them. This week they're hosting the Rapids at the other baseball stadium, Citi Field, on Sunday afternoon. Kickoff is an odd 2pm. For whatever reason the Rapids haven't released an injury report this week, all we have to go on is Burgundy Wave's reporting from the open practice on Friday:
- Connor Ronan is back in full side team drills. Probably still 1-2 weeks out. But progress. Jasper Löffelsend back too.- Lewis and Chacon working together, not with full team.
No comments about Abubakar and Vines, both of whom were Questionable last week, so I assume they're good to go (Vines started last week). Beaudry is also back from his training stint in North London.
I'm not expecting any changes from Armas this week. Maybe he mixes up the wingers but that's it.
Prediction: 1-1 draw, goal by Bassett. NYCFC has a worse offense and a better defense than us. So I'm thinking these two teams are fairly balanced. The wild card is the weird field in NYC. I think that the teams largely bounce off each other and end up level.
