FC Cincinnati with a test against DC United

In order to start the first of two Straight streets, FC Cincinnati will take a trip to the capital to face DC United. You will try to continue an unbeaten strip with three games and keep a high place in the east.

Black and red

DC United revised a large part of her starting eleven to prepare for the second full season of Troy Lesnes as head coach. The remarkable additions include Peglow as a left-wing winger from the Polish Ekstraklasa, Kye Rowles as the start-center-back of the Scottish Premiership and Kim Jun-Hong as the starting goalkeeper from Korean K. League 1.

Lesee was previously located as an interim head coach of the New York Red Bulls in 2023, where he stood in competition games such as the best-of-3 series of first round 1 against FC Cincinnati. In 2024 his DC was won against the Red Bulls, pulled away and lost at home.

A total of less possession has decided to possess FC Cincinnati for one of his seven games. This is the design because an opposing opponent wastes energy while they are pressed hard. This was particularly true for his Red Bull page, but for DC he emphasized a somewhat possession-based style with efficiency.

None of their goals came to the switch; All of them are either made of open play or set pieces, including punishments. Most of their attacks came from the left side, which are occupied by the left Peglow and the left -back David Schnegg if overlap.

The most recent result of DC was a demolition that lost 6-1 on the thirtieth anniversary of the first game of MLS 6-1 at the earthquakes in San Jose. As incredible as it sounds, they were at the end of an unfortunate goal line; They had 56% of the possession and as many shots on target (10) as their opponent. They were thwarted by the heroic goalkeeper from Daniel’s quake, who had nine parades.

No matter, you are not in a good position. They sit 12th place in the east, four points from a playoff place, just a win through their seven games. Statistically, her defense is the worst in the league with 17 goals. It will be a hard fight against Cincinnati, even if you have a home game advantage.

Orange and blue

The orange and blue want to collide from a playbird in which they don’t look better than their opponent. Last weekend they returned to New England and looked together when they were together in some time.

They tried to bring the ball to Evander in dangerous positions and therefore create enough opportunities for Denky to finish. The defense was in defect compared to what it was, but they took a step in the right direction with their clean sheet against Neuengland – their first since the start of their home.

Despite the overload of the schedule, a flood of injuries and the lack of cohesion in the team mentioned above, orange and blue are a winning steak with three games and are third in the east with 13 points in the east.

Evander is an unknown when he recovered from an optimization in his knee who suffered against Nashville. Noonan said Nwobodo would be a “playing time”, Kubo suffered a deficit and that is managed, and Hadebe will be removed with his return to a “few weeks”, everything per carter chapley. Robinson will probably occur because he took part in the training.

The defense of DC will undoubtedly fight against an attack front that belongs to Den Deny, Orellano and Bucha. If orange and blue can replicate the last 30 minutes against Neuengland, where it looked clinically, they will be in the pole position to leave the capital with all three points.

To see players

Pavel Bucha can be seen cincinnatis player. He scored a bracket on the last road trip according to DC. Against New England it was his retreat over the goal of the goal, which led to the winner of Santos. It was expected to provide more offensive support and achieved three goals and two templates in 2005.

Christian Benteke can be seen DCS player. His goal in this San Jose -Match contributes to his balance of 5 goals, which reached second place for the golden boot. He is a strong striker with the most impressive air art in the league; This will be a challenge for Cincinnatis HodgePodge defense that can overcome it.

What to expect

The field could be inclined in favor of Cincinnati, but there are factors that work against them. The quality of DC’s lawn was criticized and they are poorly prepared when they are working hard on pages. If at all, you will have difficulty carrying the ball around in this context.

DC urgently needs consolation because you try not to slide down the table. If you can use the pitch and the pressure to your advantage, you have a chance.

Since the team misses a few starter, Cincinnati has to adapt to these unique factors, especially since it misses Evander the attack. This is a lesson that you had to learn this young season. Will you have grown for this test?
