¿Cómo llegan ambos equipos?
Toronto FC finally ended a frustrating eight-match winless run at home with a 2-0 victory over D.C. United last weekend. That win was only their second of the MLS season, both coming when they scored first and kept a clean sheet. However, their attack has struggled overall — they sit second-lowest in expected goals (10.3) and have created the fewest big chances (17) in the Eastern Conference.
FC Cincinnati, by contrast, have shown that a dominant attacking display isn’t always necessary to pick up points. Despite scoring the second-fewest goals among current playoff teams in the East (17), they have only lost once in their last eight league outings. Pat Noonan’s side boast five one-goal wins this season and have gone unbeaten in seven matches when netting multiple times.
Nuestras previsiones
We anticipate a tight, tactical battle in Toronto. The home side will be buoyed by their recent clean sheet and the return of confidence at BMO Field, but their lack of consistent attacking threat could prove costly against a balanced Cincinnati lineup.
FC Cincinnati have the edge in squad depth and recent form on the road, and we back the visitors to edge this one by a single goal. A narrow 1-0 victory for Cincinnati looks the most likely outcome.
