Cincinnati form and stats

3-2-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Cincinnati in their Major League Soccer matches away. Cincinnati seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Cincinnati aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 209 league minutes without a goal. L. Acosta was the last player to find the net.

Cincinnati's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus DC United that finished 0-0. Ronald Matarrita was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.63. The defender Matarrita hit one key pass and won 6 of 11 duels.

A 0-3 defeat away at Nashville SC before that.

After this away game Cincinnati return home for a Major League Soccer game against Orlando City. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Cincinnati find the net regularly in their away games. 12 goals from 9 away fixtures in the league. The Cincinnati manager J. Stam has some worries about the defense as 20 goals have been conceded in these travels.
