Prediction: 0-2
Nashville
After suffering a heavy 5-1 loss at Inter Miami, Cincinnati will look to give fans something to cheer about when they take on Nashville on Thursday morning. The rock-bottom side are on a nine-game losing run, with the team conceding nine goals in total in the previous two league fixtures. Anyhow, Cincinnati are low on confidence ahead of the midweek clash. Costa Rica international Cruz is banned for the match, while Kubo, Vallecilla, and van der Werff remain in the recovery room.
Nashville, on the other hand, aim to overtake Philadelphia Union in second place in the standings. The Yellows and Blacks are eager to cement their place in the playoffs, and they should take advantage of Cincinnati’s dreadful losing run in the Major League Soccer. Daniel Rios is likely to miss the midweek game after limping off with injury in the 1-0 loss to Philadelphia.
