NYCFC continue the 2018 campaign after the best start in club history, six points through two games. Jason Kreis brings his Orlando City team to the Bronx. Cyle Larin is gone to Europe. Sasha Kljestan returns to their lineup from suspension. Should be another great day in the Bronx.
 
Klesjtan is pretty ineffective on the Yankee Stadium pitch so I'm really not worried about him. Orlando's entire offensive gameplan this season has been possession for possession's sake until the ball gets to Meram who will hopefully do something. As long as we prevent Meram from a moment of brilliance we should win this with ease. I'm talking 4-1 (I would say 4-0 if it weren't impossible to keep a clean sheet at Yankee's Stadium.

Meram always gives us fits. But yes, we should beat them handily. But that’s been the case most of the time when we play them.
 
We should win the next two games. But it's MLS so who knows.
On paper yes. But we turn to shit against Orlando for no reason, or Bendik decides that he doesn't want to be a shit keeper (that he usually is 98% of the time) and stops shots he should have no chance at stopping. I want to be excited against Orlando being that we should do well against them, but for some reason they are our kryptonite. Hoping it will look like the third game against them last year when we throttled them in Orlando 3-0.
NE is a shit team, but they know how to play on that crap field. We just have 1 win in 4 attempts in Foxborough, so if there is a chance of us fucking up, it would be these next two games.
 
In a political prison, hopefully.

I think we're too quick in the midfield turning defense into offense for Orl to give us too many problems. They're so attack-oriented, we should have a more than a few good chances. With Chanot back, I'm not seeing too many glaring issues.
 
I'm not worried. They'll have to counter attack us. We'll have 70% possession. If we finish our chances, I'm not worried.
