FC Cincinnati
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Philadelphia Union
Nippert Stadium will host Thursday’s football game between FC Cincinnati and Philadelphia Union. Cincinnati quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to New York City, with the team beating New York Red Bulls on the road thanks to Haris Medunjanin’s late goal. Jaap Stam’s men aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but the game against Philadelphia Union will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.
The U look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive in the Major League Soccer. The visitors aim to overtake Columbus Crew in top position in the standings, but beating Cincinnati on the road is easier said than done. Seeing that Jaap Stam is doing a great job with the Nippert Stadium outfit, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.
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 (Philadelphia Union):
Based in Chester, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Union is an American soccer club that compete in Major League Soccer. The U have been participating in MLS since 2010, but they have yet to win the domestic trophy. Philadelphia welcome their opponents at Talen Energy Stadium, the venue that was opened on June 27, 2010 and current capacity of the stadium is 18.500.
The U made it to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final on two occasions (2014, 2015), but they were beaten by Seattle Sounders and Sporting Kansas City respectively in the title games. The likes of D.C. United and New York Red Bulls are regarded as the club’s fiercest rivals, but they share a rivalry with Seattle Sounders as well.
Philadelphia’s colors are navy blue and gold, but they wear white shirts and white socks when playing on the road. USA international Freddy Adu is one of the most notable footballers who player for the U in the past. The former Benfica man scored seven goals in 37 appearances for Philadelphia Union in MLS.
