It has been a fine return to action since the World Cup by FC Cincinnati, as the franchise have recorded back-to-back wins in all competitions. Their offensive quality has dazzled since the start of August, with seven goals scored in their previous two.
Their latest win was an excellent comeback success against Pachuca in their Leagues Cup opener, eventually winning 3-1 at TQL Stadium earlier this week.
Evander and Pavel Bucha scored goals in the first half, before Kenji Mboma Dem secured the hard-fought win after the interval. Bucha has been a key player in the final third throughout the season, registering eight goal involvements.

Confidence levels would have been high within the Pumas UNAM camp ahead of their Leagues Cup opener following back-to-back wins in the Leagues Cup.
However, they were brought thumping back down to earth earlier this week after losing 3-0 against Charlotte. Pumas attempted to play on the counterattack in the loss, but they were vulnerable defensively throughout.
There will be pressure on Guillermo Martinez to play to a higher standard, as the Mexican struggled to hold up the ball and show efficiency in front of goal.
Pumas UNAM had been in excellent form before their Leagues Cup opener, but their defensive weakness is hard to overlook, especially against the second-highest scoring team in the MLS. Therefore, a home win for Cincinnati is a logical angle to follow when making picks.
