This weekend, New York City FC will play the second game of the Round One Best-of-3 series in the MLS Cup Playoffs. The Pigeons will host Charlotte FC after last playing in North Carolina on Tuesday. They won 1-0 to take the first match, and now they need just one more win to move on in the postseason.
As it has been repeatedly mentioned, playing at home does not mean that NYCFC will have the home-field advantage. The team lost six games at home in the regular season, subsequently fracturing the idea that they dominate at Citi Field and Yankee Stadium.
