All eyes on New York City FC as Toronto FC travel to face New York City FC.
New York City FC welcome Toronto FC in the MLS. We've crunched the numbers. Here's our preview.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. New York City FC will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while Toronto FC travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
Both sets of fans can dream here: this is two in-form sides on a collision course. New York City FC come in on a L-D-W-W-L run, Toronto FC have gone D-L-L-L-D, and neither will fear the other. When form meets form like this, something has to give, and whichever way it breaks, it should be a proper occasion. New York City FC's home form is particularly impressive right now. They're performing above their season average on their own turf. Interestingly, New York City FC look better than their results show. The quality of chances they create is worth 2.0 a game, but they're only converting 1.4 goals. They're creating more than the scoreline shows and look due a few more goals. Toronto FC are creating better chances than their goal return suggests (chance quality of 1.2 against 1.1 actual goals). They look due a few more. A concern for Toronto FC: they're giving up chances worth 1.5 a game over their last 5 (vs 0.9 for the season). The defence is creaking.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
New York City FC create chances worth 2.0 a game (and give up chances worth 1.0), leaving them +1.0 a game on the balance. Toronto FC create 1.2 (giving up 0.9) for a balance of +0.3. The underlying numbers clearly favour New York City FC. They're creating better chances AND giving up fewer good ones. New York City FC should be scoring more. Their chances are worth 2.0 a game but they're only getting 1.4 goals. When the finishing clicks, they'll be a handful. Toronto FC are creating chances worth 1.2 a game but only finishing 1.1. the underlying performance is better than the results show. A worry for New York City FC: the chances they're creating lately are worth 1.1 a game, well below their 2.0 season figure. The attacking output has dipped. Toronto FC's defence is giving up chances. Worth 1.5 a game over their last 5 vs 0.9 for the season. They're becoming easier to break down.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. New York City FC average 1.4 goals per game and Toronto FC manage 1.1. Combined that's just 2.5. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Interestingly, the chances suggest more goals than the headline number. New York City FC and Toronto FC together create chances worth 3.2 a game. The low figure might be underrating the attacking quality here.
