Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.758/11 in New York City v New England

There's an East Coast derby in the US this evening and Tobias Gourlay wouldn't be anywhere else

New York City v New England
Saturday 19:00

Ireland 1 Switzerland 0 in Dublin last night. It all looked so promising when Ciaran Clark scored after just two minutes. As it is, our search for goals gets just a little bit more desperate.

Which is why we've come all the way across the Atlantic for tonight's MLS game between New York City and New England.

Patrick Vieira's NYCFC have managed just one clean sheet in 18 attempts at Yankee Stadium since this time last year. Twelve of their most recent 15 games there have produced Over 2.5 Goals in total.

New England too bring a rich recent history of goals to the party. Since Jay Heaps took charge more than 60% of their away games have gone Over 2.5 Goals. Recently, it's 14/16 with at least three goals and we fancy them to deliver again in the Big Apple tonight.
