No firm call: the stats lean New York Cosmos - New York Cosmos have the edge on recent form, weighed by who they played (1.2 points a game to 0.9); backed by goal difference. Richmond Kickers have not won any of their last six. The table says sixteenth against seventeenth, Richmond Kickers are open at the back, a little over two a game. New York Cosmos struggle for goals, one and a half a game. Richmond Kickers have kept a clean sheet in about one game in six. No main bet: nothing we back is priced at 1.09 or more.
