FC Cincinnati hosts Philadelphia Union in a crucial MLS matchup with the following key points:

Match Odds:

  • FC Cincinnati: +205
  • Philadelphia Union: +116
  • Draw: +245

Team Situations:

  • FC Cincinnati is struggling, sitting last in Eastern Conference with just 20 points from 27 matches
  • On a five-game losing streak, having conceded 14 goals during that span
  • Philadelphia Union is third in East, on a four-game unbeaten run
  • Union has scored 8 goals in last 4 matches while maintaining second-best defense in MLS

Key Players:

  • Brenner (Cincinnati) - Scoreless in last 3 matches
  • Luciano Acosta (Cincinnati) - 2 goals, 1 assist in last 3 games
  • Kacper Przybylko (Union) - 3 goals, 1 assist in last 4 matches

Important Notes:

  • Union missing 6 players to international duty, including goalkeeper Andre Blake
  • Cincinnati catching Union at good time with depleted roster
  • Cincinnati desperate to end losing streak and climb out of last place
  • Union looking to solidify playoff position with 3-game cushion

The absence of key Union players evens the odds despite the teams' different positions in standings. Cincinnati will aim to take advantage of Union's depleted squad to snap their losing streak.
