Our prediction for this MLS match:
FC Cincinnati
Match Time & Date:
29/09/2019
05:00 PM
Prediction: 1-0
Orlando City
Cincinnati and Orlando City face each other at Nippert Stadium in the penultimate game of the season. The two teams have little to play for in Sunday’s football match as they failed to make it to the play-offs and seeing that Cincinnati failed to find the net in previous two league fixtures, we should not expect goals galore this time out. The newcomers do not seem to be competitive at this level, but they surely want to emerge triumphant in their last home game of the season.
The Lions, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their six-game winless run in the Major League Soccer, but seeing that the hosts want this win more than the visitors, we predict that James O’Connor’s troops are going to return home empty-handed from the trip to Ohio. In their last meeting in MLS Orlando CityC crushed Cincinnati 5-1.
Highlighted Player (Kendall Waston):
Kendall Waston is yet another Costa Rican footballer who plays in MLS. The Vancouver Whitecaps centre back started his senior career at Sarprissa of Costa Rica and he played for the likes of Carmelita, Nacional, Bayamon, UCR and Perez Zeledon (on loan) in the past as well.
Waston moved to MLS in the summer of 2014, signing a deal with Vancouver Whitecaps. The Costa Rica international scored only two goals in 11 appearances for the club in the 2014 season, but the club chiefs decided to keep hold of him. He found the net twice in 30 league games in the 2015 MLS campaign, while scoring three goals in his last season with the Canadian club.
Kendall Waston was born in San Jose, Costa Rica on January 1, 1988 and he made his debut for the Costa Rica national team in May, 2013 in a match against Canada. The Vancouver Whitecaps forward scored his first goal for los Ticos on December 16, 2015 in a 1-0 victory over Nicaragua.
Highlighted Team (Orlando City):
Orlando City are a member of the Eastern Conference in Major League Soccer. The Lions have been participating in the major league since 2015 and they host their rivals at Orlando City Stadium. The venue was opened in February, 2017 and the construction of the stadium cost $155 million. Orlando City finished the 2015 MLS season in seventh place in the Eastern Conference and they failed to make it to the play-offs in the 2016 season as well (8th place).
Brazilian ace Kaka is undisputedly the club’s most famous player and the former Real Madrid and Milan man became the highest-paid player in MLS history. His base salary was $6.6 million per year and it has to be noted that the Brazilian superstar found the net on his Orlando City debut against FC Dallas (friendly). Orlando City’s home kit is violet, while they wear white and violet shirts and white socks on the travels. The club’s official mascot is Kingston the Lion.
