The Major League Soccer action continues this weekend and on the 29th of May we have a meeting between FC Cincinnati and New England Revolution at the Nippert Stadium.
The hosts begin the weekend sitting bottom of the Eastern Conference on 4 points well the visitors are top with 14 points to their name.
FC Cincinnati come into the match having recorded their first victory of the season thanks to a 2-1 win at Montreal. It looked as though it was going to be yet another defeat for FC Cincinnati as they fell a goal behind in the 56th minute but two goals in the final 20 minutes of the game sealed a crucial first win of the season.
Prior to that victory, FC Cincinnati were on a run of 4 games without a win. The only point they picked up came in a 2-2 draw at Nashville FC and there have been defeats at New York City, Orlando City, and at home against Inter Miami.
FC Cincinnati have played only one game at home so far this season and that was the defeat against Inter Miami. However, including friendly matches, FC Cincinnati have lost each of their last 6 home games.
In fact, they have picked up just a single victory from their 12 recent home fixtures. Trends show FC Cincinnati have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 15 matches in Major League Soccer.
New England Revolution come into the game having defeated New York Red Bulls 3-1 at home in their previous match.
Having fallen a goal behind in only the 7th minute, New England Revolution came back strongly to win the game, scoring two goals before half-time and adding a third in the second half with New York Red Bulls down to 10 men.
That result means New England Revolution are undefeated in their last 3 matches, beating Columbus Crew 1-0 at home and picking up a point in a 1-1 draw at Philadelphia Union. New England Revolution have made a strong start to the season and they have lost only one of their 7 MLS matches.
Trends show New England Revolution have failed to win any of their last 4 away MLS fixtures. There have been two draws and two defeats in those 4 games and New England Revolution have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 5 away MLS matches.
Looking ahead to the team news and FC Cincinnati are expected to be without the injured trio of Tom Pettersson, Maikel van der Werff, and Franko Kovacevic.
New England Revolution also have three players on the treatment table, with Collin Verfurth, Christian Mafla, and Luis Alberto Caicedo unlikely to play any part in the game.
This is a match in which we expect to see both teams find the back of the net but there is no doubt New England Revolution are the favourites to take maximum points.
FC Cincinnati may push the visitors close but New England Revolution could come out on top by a one goal margin.
