Atlanta United are welcoming Cincinnati for another important game after their 1-4 result against 4th-placed Orlando City.
It's no vacation for neither Atlanta nor Cincinnati as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Atlanta United form and stats
Atlanta United's struggle is real here at Mercedes-Benz Stadium with only 11 points collected from 12 Major League Soccer games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-2-7. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Atlanta to get some points in this home game. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Atlanta, their manager S. Glass and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Atlanta are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-4 away versus Orlando City. Before that game, the home loss against DC United with the scoreline 1-2.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Atlanta handle that role? We have found three games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are one win, one draw and one defeat.
Atlanta have scored 8 league goals here from 12 matches, not a lot. 12 goals have been conceded.
Cincinnati form and stats
There's been little loot from Cincinnati's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 10 away games in the Major League Soccer. Cincinnati, who have the fewest scored goals (11) in Major League Soccer, only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 0 draws. Three has not been a lucky number for Cincinnati as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Columbus Crew match. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Cincinnati's last three away games as they have all been lost.
B. Vazquez was the last player to score for the away team. Cincinnati haven't scored a league goal in the last 204 minutes.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Major League Soccer home defeat versus Sporting KC with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Minnesota United.
Cincinnati are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and one defeat. From a total of two matches.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Cincinnati, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Atlanta - Cincinnati 0-1. As for the last four games between these two teams, there's two Atlanta victories, one draw and one Cincinnati win. Over/under statistics; one of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
