My Prediction
FC Cincinnati by 1Buckle up buttercups, we've got a sizzler between FC Cincinnati and Chicago Fire. Now here's the scoop.
FC Cincinnati boasts Roman Celentano between the posts, a goalie who's made minced meat of shot attempts with 8 saves and a 7.03 rating. For the Fire, it's Jeffrey Gal who's struggled to spark with a much drier 6.45 rating and 5 saves.
Cincinnati's attackers have been on a tear lately. Evander, with 4 goals and 8 shots on goal, and Luca Orellano, with 1 goal and 4 shots on goal, have metamorphosed the side into a goal-scoring machine. The Fire have not been left in the ashes, with Philip Zinckernagel and Brian Gutierrez leading their attack, both with 2 goals each and a pass accuracy above 75%.
When it comes to past battles, we've had quite the seesaw. Out of the last five encounters, Cincinnati edges out with three wins, with Chicago nabbing one, and sharing the spoils on one occasion. In the tale of the tape, Cincinnati's season record (12-3-5) beats out the more evenly matched Fire (8-4-7).
Recent form shows Cincinnati lighting it up with wins against Orlando City SC and CF Montreal, and a brave draw against FC Dallas. The Fire, on the other hand, have been reasonably toasty but have dropped points to Nashville SC and Philadelphia Union.
So, here's the million dollar question – who's going to come out on top? Let's call a duck a duck, FC Cincinnati has been bringing the ruckus and I don't expect them to stop. So, football fanatics, brace yourselves for my prediction:
