My Prediction
FC Cincinnati by 1Ah, the smell of rivalry is in the air. Today we're talking about the match-up between New England Revolution and FC Cincinnati, and boy, do we have a game on our hands.
FC Cincinnati boasts a goalkeeper, Roman Celentano, with a commendable rating of 6.86 and 16 saves. Playing in the big leagues typically means big pressure, but the stats tell me that Roman sips his morning coffee standing on his hands.
Now next door, for the Revolution, we have Aljaž Ivačič donning the gloves with a rating of 6.62, not quite in the big league as Cincinatti’s but hey, eight saves aren't too shabby.
We're not looking at lackluster rosters here. FC Cincinnati's brimming with firepower from the likes of Evander and Kévin Denkey. Evander might not have found the back of the net yet, but his impressive pass accuracy of 86.7% and 6 shots on goal shows that he's working on some secret plot. Denkey, on the other hand, is the goal machines with 4 to his name.
Over on the Revolution side, heroes come in the shape of Keegan Hughes, Carles Gil and Ilay Feingold. Hughes can best be described as the team's puppet master, offering a firecracker pass accuracy of 94.7%, although he's still trying to break the 'hit-the-woodwork’ curse. Feingold, a name rather fitting for a goal scrounger, tallied up 3 strikes this season with each shot finding the net.
In the good old days of past matchups between these two teams, we've seen the pendulum swing both ways. But the most recent memory is a bitter pill for the Revolution to swallow with FC Cincinnati nicking a 1-0 win.
Regular season records paint an interesting picture: FC Cincinnati has 9 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses, while New England Revolution has 6 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses. In recent encounters, FC Cincinnati has been a mixed bag with a couple of losses and a draw, while New England Revolution has been giving away too many points with three draws in their last five matches.
Drumroll please! Judging by the sagely nodding of my crystal ball and figuring in exactly zero forms of mysticism, I'd peg FC Cincinnati to win, but by a slimmer margin than a supermodel.
