New York City's games are usually close, and of course, their last game against Orlando City was, which New York City won late on with an own goal by Smith in the 87th minute and a goal by Costa Rican Alonso Martínez in the 91st minute.

The Pigeons' last game was a tremendous victory over Orlando City, earning betting sites odds of around +410.

However, betting on New York City is risky given their success in staggering wins and losses, with draws, so much so that they haven't repeated a result since May 28 in any of their last seven games.

The Pigeons will travel to Children's Mercy Park to face Sporting Kansas City; Saturday's match will be the first MLS match between these teams since the last one ended 0-0 at Yankee Stadium, the same result as a friendly in 2024.
