FC Cincinnati at New York City 9/12/2020 - MLS Picks & Predictions

New York City were tremendous in their last match but were unable to keep their winning streak going. They did manage to keep their undefeated streak intact though, and will now look to extend it to five matches when they will host Cincinnati on Saturday. Cincinnati have been struggling a lot this season and this will not be an easy match for them.

New York City (4-5-1) are coming into this match after a really solid performance on the road against DC United, where they dominated their opponents in both ends of the pitch but were eventually stuck at a goal-less draw. Even so, they are now undefeated in their last four matches, winning the other three. New York City are sitting at the 7th spot of the Eastern Conference with 13 points, scoring 8 and conceding 8 goals so far. They have been mediocre at home (2-2-0), scoring 5 and conceding 5 goals.

Cincinnati (2-5-3) were not very good in their away match against Columbus last week and met a tough 0-3 defeat. That was the fifth consecutive match that they fail to score, while they are also win-less in their last six (0-2-4). Cincinnati are sitting at the 12th spot of the Eastern Conference with 9 points, scoring just 6 goals and conceding 15 in the process. They have been quite bad on the road so far, losing four of their five matches (1-4-0), while scoring just 4 goals against 11 conceded.
