Cincinnati form and stats

Cincinnati's struggle is real here at Nippert Stadium with only 8 points collected from 16 Major League Soccer games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-5-10. All in all it has been a very rough period for Cincinnati who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Toronto, 56 days ago.

The fans are hoping that Cincinnati will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Major League Soccer game against Philadelphia Union (placed 2nd). Goalkeeper Kenneth Vermeer got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.45 out of ten. Vermeer stopped the opponent with five saves.

Preceding that match was the home game against Nashville SC that was lost 3-6.

Cincinnati has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 16 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Cincinnati defense is not exactly impregnable. 27 goals conceded from 16 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Toronto.

Atlanta have scored 18 goals on their travels this season, from 16 away games in the league. Atlanta have conceded 22 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
