FC Cincinnati had a fantastic start to the season, advancing to the 7th round as one of three unbeaten teams in the 2023 MLS season. They sit on top of the Eastern Conference after gathering 14 out of what may be 18 points. The most recent match ended in a 1-0 victory against Inter Miami, which was the second win in a row by this scoreline.
Cincinnati’s success is thanks to a series of solid defensive plays, as they are the second MLS East team with the lowest number of conceded goals, with just 4 against. Playing at home can help them maintain their undefeated status, as they have 6 wins in their 7 official home games and won 3-1 against Philadelphia Union the last time.
Possible Lineup (3-4-1-2): Roman Celentano, Nick Hagglund, Matthew Miazga, Yerson Mosquera, Raymon Gaddis, Marco Angulo, Junior Moreno, Alvaro Barreal, Luciano Acosta, Brandon Vazquez, Brenner.

Philadelphia Union haven’t played up to expectations for a club that was runner-up last MLS season. Although they won two of their first 3 matches, Philadelphia Union is now in the middle of a 3-game winless streak, after a goalless draw against Sporting Kansas City in the last fixture.
Having kicked off today’s game in 8th position in the Eastern Conference, Philadelphia will want to go back to winning against a club they’ve lost to just once in their 9 official clashes. But, it won’t be easy, especially since they’ve come at a complicated moment and are 6-winless games away from home.
Possible Lineup: (4-3-1-2): Andre Blake, Olivier Mbaizo, Jakob Glesnes, Jack Elliott, Real Matthew, Jose Martinez, Leon Flach, Alejandro Bedoya, Daniel Gazdag, Julian Carranza, Mikael Uhre.
MatchPlug Prediction
Philadelphia has struggled with their attack this season, and they haven’t scored in 4 of their past 6 road games. This may make it hard for them to beat Cincinnati’s ironclad defense at the home stadium.
But, Cincinnati has struggled with offense too, scoring one goal in their last two wins. The host might emerge victorious and this matchup will be a close one, with both teams vying for smooth goal-scoring opportunities and few goals scored.
