Prediction: 3-0
FC Cincinnati
DC United play host to Cincinnati at their Audi Field in what is expected to be an interesting MLS game. The capital club produce much better showings at home than on the travels, with the team eyeing their ninth home triumph of the process. Even though all Hines-Ike, Odoi-Atsem, and Perez are sidelined with injuries, home win should be considered as DC United are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Both Felipe and Flores are pushing for a start after the duo got their names on the scoresheet in the loss to Atlanta United.
Cincinnati, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing to both Atlanta United (0-4) and New York City (1-2) in the previous two league fixtures. Since both wingers Barreal and Atanga are banned for the match, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise.
Highlighted Player (Felipe Martins):
Felipe Campanholi Martins is a Brazilian footballer who was born on September 30, 1990 in Engenheiro Beltrao. After playing for the likes of PSTC-Londrina, Atletico Catarinense and Campo Grande during his youth career, he started his senior career at Padova.
The Brazilian midfielder appeared in no more than four league matches for the Italian club and in 2009 he moved to Switzerland, signing a deal with FC Winterthur. At the end of the season he joined fellow Swiss Super League club Lugano and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular. In the winter of 2011 Felipe moved to MLS, signing a deal with expansion team Montreal Impact.
He scored his first MLS goal in a 2-0 win over Sporting Kansas City on May 5, 2012 and he has been playing an important role in the team ever since. Felipe has yet to represent Brazil at senior level, but he could play for Canada national team in the future as he applied for permanent residency.
Highlighted Team (FC Cincinnati):
FC Cincinnati will make their MLS debut in the 2019 season. Based in Ohio, the Orange and Blue are a team who is expected to play their home games at West End Stadium. However, seeing that the West End Stadium is still under construction, FC Cincinnati will welcome their rivals at Nippert Stadium at the start of the season.
