FC Cincinnati are soaring into this one, undefeated in three following a 2-1 smash-and-grab at Nashville. Evander and Ahoueke Denkey (from the spot) did the business, with 54% possession, five corners, and six shots on target—clinical stuff, even if their backline's shakier than a pub quiz team after last orders. Recent form is WLLDW—two wins, a draw, and a couple of stumbles—but they're sitting pretty in 8th with 3W-1D-2L. Pat Noonan has them pushing hard, though injuries to Yuya Kubo, Matt Miazga, and Teenage Hadebe might leave gaps. The star?
Ahoueke Denkey's the name to chant—five goals already, and he has a habit of showing up when it counts. Their xG in this matchup stands at 1.57, so strap yourselves in. Strengths? Deadly on the break and unbeaten at home of late (8/8). Weaknesses? That defence—shipping in 4/4 games—is a genuine Achilles' heel. Streaks tell the tale: GG (both teams scoring) in 6/8, under 4.5 cards in 8/9, under 10.5 corners in 6/7. Noonan's crew love a fight, but they'll need to shape up against a Revs side with bite. This lot have the weapons to win, but it'll be a barnburner—just the ticket for a raucous night at TQL Stadium. Grab a beer and watch Denkey do his thing; he's the lad who can nick it!
New England Revolution
New England Revolution finally remembered how to win, stealing a 2-1 thriller from NY Red Bulls with Carles Gil scoring twice. With 53% possession, three corners, and six shots on target, they showed some backbone—though 14 fouls and three yellows indicate a gritty hue. Form's been a rollercoaster—DLLLW—but that final W broke a four-game winless streak, bringing them up to 13th (1W-1D-3L). Caleb Porter's men are rugged, though, and Andrew Farrell, Brayan Ceballos, Leonardo Campana, and Malcolm Fry injuries could sting. Carles Gil's the conductor here—two goals last game, and he's got the vision to exploit any defence. Their xG's a modest 1.39, so they'll need him scorching.
Strengths? They've got nous and the ability to nick results. Weaknesses? They've been breached in 4/4, and they've been under 2.5 goals in 6/8—not exactly goal-grabbing. Away, they've been flaky, unbeaten in 7 of their last 10 days away. Porter keeps them scrapping, but there ain't such a thing as consistency. Gil's the talisman; if he's singing his song, then they've a shout. Without, it's a long Cincinnati night. Streaks scream warning—acknowledging's a ritual, and they're not entirely goalless. Still, this team's got sufficient depth to make it hot—expect a fight, not a stroll. Can they spoil the party? Only if Gil gives his best!
Head to Head
This rivalry’s a proper scrap—New England edge it with 6 wins to Cincinnati’s 5, with 3 draws in 14 clashes. Last time out, on June 23, 2024, the Revs pinched a 2-1 win, leaving Cincinnati fans fuming. History’s got juice: Cincinnati’s conceded in 3/3 against them, while New England’s shipped goals in 11/11. Over 2.5 goals hits in 8/10, and GG lands in 5/6—goals galore! Cincinnati scores first in 5/7, but under 4.5 cards stays in 8/10. Search for drama, maybe an early home team lead, but New England has a history of making a comeback. Too close to call!
