Prediction: 2-1
Columbus Crew
Cincinnati and Columbus Crew square off against each other at TQL Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting MLS game. Cincinnati have been impressive in front of home fans this season and they are eager to keep their 100% record at home intact. With no fresh injury worries to report, head coach Pat Noonan is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed Montreal in midweek, but forward Brenner remains on the sidelines with an ankle problem.
The Crew, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Los Angeles Galaxy. Columbus, though, have been struggling on the travels at the start of the season and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Cincinnati’s party at TQL Stadium. As for the away team, all Milos Degenek, William Sands, Eloy Room, Luis Diaz, Kevin Molino, and Josh Williams remain in the treatment room.
Highlighted Player (Luciano Acosta):
Luciano Acosta is a professional footballer who plays for DC United as an attacking midfielder. Acosta was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina on May 31, 1994 and he started his senior career at his hometown club Boca Juniors. After scoring 2 goals in 25 appearances for the famous Argentine club, the 160-cm tall footballer joined Estudiantes on loan in 2016.
In 2017 he moved to DC United and he has been playing for the MlS club ever since. Luciano Acosta impressed in the 2018 season, with the Argentina international scoring 10 goals, while providing 15 assists for his teammates in the process. Despite producing thrilling showings in the 2018 MLS campaign, he has yet to earn a call-up for the Argentina national football team.
Acosta’s main position is attacking midfielder, but he is capable of playing as both second striker and centre forward as well. He has a contract with DC United which should expire on December 31, 2019 and his preferred foot is right.
