Alright sports fans, let's dive right into this Major League Soccer matchup between FC Cincinnati and FC Dallas. In the goalkeeper department, FC Cincinnati is sporting Roman Celentano who has an impressive 7.24 rating with 16 saves. Not bad at all. Over there in Dallas, we've got Maarten Paes and Michael Collodi, with ratings of 6.72 and 6.50 respectively. Not exactly knocking anyone's socks off, now are they?
Let's chat about top players for a sec. For those donning the FC Dallas colors, Pedrinho, Luciano Acosta, and Shaq Moore are the stars of the show. Pedrinho's been decent with a 7.42 rating and actually managed to put one in the net. Over on FC Cincinnati's side, Evander, Kévin Denkey, and Miles Robinson are stealing the limelight. Denkey though, boy oh boy, four goals in his pocket so far. Must be eating his Wheaties.
Delving into the annals of history, their last meet up saw FC Dallas lose to FC Cincinnati, 0-1, back on a sunny June day in 2024. As I always say, the past is the past, but I'm sure Dallas has that date circled in red in their locker room.
Now the regular season records give a bit of a clearer picture. FC Dallas, 4-4-6, is looking like they've been too busy watching reruns of Friends instead of training. On the other hand, FC Cincinnati, 9-2-3, definitely looks like the stronger team on paper.
Recent form shows not much cheer for FC Dallas with just one victory sandwiched between some pretty heavy losses. FC Cincinnati on the flip side, look to be in pretty good form with only a single loss in their last five outings.
Remember now, no wagering... unless it's legal where you are... and you're winning. So with that, I'm ready to make my prediction. This should be a fun one with all things considered. The scales here are tipped fairly heavily in one direction .
