Cincinnati form and stats

Overall stats at home this season for Cincinnati, who have the fewest points (7) at home in Major League Soccer, are 2-1-3 (wins-draw-losses).

The Cincinnati supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Louisville City in US Open Cup and win 2-1. Heartbreak before that as Cincinnati lost 2-5 at New York City's place.

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 five games. Cincinnati has won 0 of these, drawn 2 and lost 3.

Cincinnati are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 6 goals in 6 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.

LA Galaxy form and stats

3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of LA Galaxy playing as the away team this season. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but LA Galaxy are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.

LA Galaxy delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Orange County FC in their previous match; a US Open Cup game. A loss against New England was the result prior to that, in a Major League Soccer home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with LA Galaxy playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were 2 LA Galaxy wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats.

LA Galaxy are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 7 games. As opposed to that, LA Galaxy have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
