After the first round of Leagues Cup fixtures, FC Cincinnati and Pumas UNAM will be experiencing completely different feelings, with the former claiming a 3-1 victory and the latter being dominated 3-0 by Charlotte. This time around, Pumas travel to the team ranked just above their previous opponents in the MLS, FC Cincinnati, so it should be another testing game for the Mexican side. The two will battle it out at TQL Stadium this Friday evening.
Scoring the highest number of home goals in the entire MLS, Cincinnati aren’t an opposition to take lightly. The Orange and Blue are now on a five-game win streak, as well as netting three or more goals in each of their last six. Ahead of this game, the hosts have found the net multiple times in all of their last ten on home soil. The fact that Pumas UNAM were by far the lesser team in the first round doesn’t set them up with much confidence, so we should expect a dominating performance from the home side.

Our FC Cincinnati vs Pumas UNAM Prediction
As well as losing in the opening round, UNAM have also faced defeat in three out of their last five, a huge difference to FC Cincinnati’s fabulous momentum they’ve built, particularly on home turf.
Winning all of their last five, with no less than three goals scored in each, Noonan’s boys are a very strong home team, and this could be too much of an ask for a deflated away team. The visitors allowed six big chances, resulting in an xG of 3.84, against Charlotte, whilst only creating one big chance and an xG of 1.76 themselves. They're expected to struggle here.
Our FC Cincinnati vs Pumas UNAM Pick: Cincinnati to Win and Over 2.5 Goals.
