On Saturday afternoon, in front of a home crowd at Yankee Stadium, the NYCFC boys have the chance to wrap this best-of-three series up without needing a third game. Just a few days ago, the pair met in Charlotte, and it was an unhappy evening for the hosts, who once again looked weak in the final third. Not only did Dean Smith's men fail to score, but they also failed to create big chances, which is not something that Saturday's hosts struggled with. 

This will be the second time in less than two months that the pair have met at Yankee Stadium. When the visitors last visited the Bronx, they found the hosts far too hot to handle, losing by two goals to zero. We really should see something similar this time around.

Our New York City vs Charlotte FC Prediction

Without wishing to pay Dean Smith's men any disrespect, the hosts really should be stronger favorites here, so a bet on the home win is worth placing at odds of -130. The NYCFC boys were clearly the better team in the first game, and they got the job done. Now with a home crowd behind them at Yankee Stadium, the men far more versed at getting it done in the postseason can wrap this best-of-three series up and move forward. 

Let's be honest, we've seen these two teams play against each other twice in the last six weeks or so, and in each of those games, Saturday's hosts have been somewhat better than their opponents, and that's hard to ignore.
