ℹ️
Team News: Atlanta United
Regarding absentees, there’s just the sole fitness concern for the Atlanta United manager Ronny Deila to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength squad. Stian Gregersen (Hamstring injury) misses out.
We are thinking that The Five Stripes could make use of the 3-4-3 system for this one, handing starts to Brad Guzan, Matthew Edwards, Derrick Williams, Luis Abram, Brooks Lennon, Ajani Fortune, Tristan Muyumba, Pedro Amador, Miguel Almirón, Jamal Thiare and Alexey Miranchuk.
📰
Team News: FC Cincinatti
We’re of the thinking that FC Cincinatti will likely elect for a 5-3-2 formation, starting Roman Celentano, Luca Orellano, Matthew Miazga, Miles Robinson, Nick Hagglund, Lukas Engel, Evander, Obinna Nwobodo, Pavel Bucha, Sergio Santos and Kévin Denkey.
💡
Prediction
Our assessment is that FC Cincinatti and Atlanta United may well end up cancelling each other out here.
An eventful draw is therefore a real possibility, and we are expecting it to be very tight. We’re therefore expecting a great battle with a score draw by the conclusion of the match.
