Player to watch: Santiago Fernandez
New York City’s #10 is the player to watch in our New York City vs Colorado Rapids prediction, as he’s undoubtedly one of the most important players on the team. Take, for example, his display on the 21st of April. He ran DC United ragged as he provided an assist and scored one of the goals for his team.
Fernandez can do more
We are sure that Santiago Fernandez will be among the starters for the home side, which will definitely be a huge boost for the manager as well.
