Our prediction for the match Cincinnati vs Atlanta United
Last season, Cincinnati managed to earn 59 points in the regular championship, which was the third-best result in the East. In the playoffs, they exchanged victories with New York City and after a goalless draw in the decisive match, they lost in a penalty shootout 6-5. In the same conference, the Atlanta team scored forty points and only from the ninth place, through a wildcard, got into the playoffs. But there they not only defeated Montreal but also the best team of the whole season, Inter Miami. It was only in the conference semi-final that they narrowly lost to Orlando City.
In the offseason, Cincinnati set an MLS record. They purchased a Togolese forward, Denkey, from Cercle Brugge for almost seventeen million. There were other newcomers, but much cheaper or even free agents - Flores, Orellano, Engel, Evander. The updated squad, having passed in the CONCACAF Champions League Motagua from Honduras, was eliminated by Tigres (1-1 at home, 1-3 in Mexico). And in MLS, the club defeated New York Red Bulls and Toronto at home but lost 1-4 in Philadelphia with the Union and then lost 0-2 to Charlotte.
In Atlanta, a new coach, Deila, arrived. Besides him, Hibbert, Almiron, Klich, and most importantly, Latte-Latt moved to North America - he was bought for 22 million. The Ivorian immediately began scoring, which helped beat Montreal Impact. But then followed a 0-2 with Charlotte and a goalless draw with New York Red Bulls. They tried to share points with Inter Miami but eventually lost 1-2.
