Cincinnati and Philadelphia Union meet in MLS, with the hosts having just closed out five matches with a 2-2 draw, while the visitors finished with a 0-0 draw at home. Neither side therefore comes in on a hot streak, but neither is in a downward slide either. Cincinnati have scored 66 goals from 32 matches this season but have conceded as many as 73. They are a team whose games are open and who see goals at both ends. The attack can still be trusted, but the defence allows opponents to create chances too often. Philadelphia Union, meanwhile, have conceded only 50 goals from the same number of matches, so their defence is clearly tighter, even if their attack is not as forceful as the hosts'. With the visitors' tighter defence travelling to a team that scores a lot but also concedes a lot, this game should be an entertaining exchange with goals at both ends, but the overall shape still leans towards the hosts not letting the visitors come and win easily at their own ground.
