Our prediction for this MLS match:
High-flying Cincinnati will be aiming to extend their winning run to six games when they take on St Louis City on Sunday morning. Cincinnati have found their best form of late and it is no wonder they are seen as favourites to beat St Louis City at home. The likes of Corey Baird, Alvas Powell, DeAndre Yedlin, and Aaron Boupendza are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
Bradley Carnell’s troops, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Los Angeles FC. St Louis City, though, have been struggling on the travels in the new Major League Soccer campaign, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. In their only previous meeting in the league St Louis City crushed Cincinnati 5-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Anthony Markanich is banned for the match, while both Joshua Yaro and Eduard Lowen miss out with injuries.
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.
