It's been rough for Cincinnati so far, and I guess you could say the same about Atlanta United. The strugglers have a chance for some much needed points here.
- Cincinnati have yet to win a game at home.
- Atlanta United have yet to win a game away.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Cincinnati and Atlanta United.
Cincinnati form and stats
When playing at home in the Major League Soccer, Cincinnati have managed 0 wins, 1 draw and suffered 3 defeats from 4 games.
Cincinnati are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 4-5 away versus Montreal Impact. The attacker Brenner was "man of the match" for Cincinnati with a rating of 8.45/10. Brenner scored two goals, hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 27 successful passes (of 30 total). Did Cincinnati get overconfident in their match against Montreal Impact? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 4-5 defeat. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Columbus Crew.This is expected to be a close game, with Cincinnati perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Cincinnati as a small favourite), we find ten games. Cincinnati has won zero of these, drawn five and lost five.
The manager J. Stam will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Nashville SC in only three days.
Cincinnati are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 games. Cincinnati have conceded 8 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Atlanta United form and stats
There's been little loot from Atlanta United's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the Major League Soccer. Atlanta United only have 0 wins to counter their 3 defeats and 4 draws.
Home advantage was not enough for Atlanta in their previous game, as they lost their Major League Soccer-match, hosting New England, 0-1. George Campbell was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.64. The defender Campbell hit one key pass and won 12 of 16 duels.
A 2-2 draw at Nashville SC's stadium before that.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Atlanta United in our archives, and the results are: six wins for Atlanta United, two draws and five defeats.
After this away game Atlanta United return home for a Major League Soccer game against Columbus Crew. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Atlanta when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 7 league matches away. As opposed to that, Atlanta United have seen the ball go into their own net 10 times on the road.
