There’s a good chance that FC Cincinatti seem likely to make use of a 3-4-2-1 system, settling for Roman Celentano, Miles Robinson, Matthew Miazga, Nick Hagglund, DeAndre Yedlin, Obinna Nwobodo, Brian Anunga, Lukas Engel, Luca Orellano, Evander and Kévin Denkey.
⚡ Prediction
Here, we’re thinking that FC Cincinatti will do well to break down this New York City FC outfit who we reckon will win and very possibly keep a clean sheet.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a very even contest with a 1-0 winning margin for New York City FC when the referee blows for full-time.
Should be interesting.
