FC Cincinnati Preview

Pat Noonan’s troop's multiple lapses led them to concede two goals in the second half, failing to recover after facing Charlotte FC last week. Inside the 90-minute frame, The Orange and Blue outshot Charlotte 17 to 15 and possessed a slight edge in the possession battle with 51 percent. 

The club's leading goal-getter early on this season, Kevin Denky, will be missing in action on Saturday due to his call-up with the Togo national team. In his first stretch of MLS play, the 24-year-old has found the back of the net twice through four outings. 

With the team’s most lethal striker away on duty, Cincinnati’s other huge offseason acquisition must carry the load on Saturday. Evander Ferreira has already acquired two goal contributions in four starts. Last year's MLS All-Star put up monster numbers amassing 15 goals and assists through 29 league appearances.

Atlanta United FC Preview

In his first taste of MLS on the touchline, Ronny Deila’s men are off to a subpar start before the March international window. Currently, his side sits 12th overall in the Eastern Conference with four points. After a season-opening triumph, The Five Stripes are winless in their last three. 

Atlanta’s big offseason money move is already paying off early as Emmanuel Latte Lath had displayed why he was sought after by the club. The Ivorian striker has cataloged three goals in his first four MLS starts. The 26-year-old is highly active around the opposing keeper as he is averaging 2.26 shots on target per 90. 

The Five Strips key core player missing this upcoming weekend is Miguel Almirón, who is off representing his home nation of Paraguay in international play. This is Almirón’s second stint in MLS as he was previously with Atlanta during the 2017 and 2018 campaign, stockpiling 22 goals and 19 assists in 70 contests across all competitions played. This offseason the 31-year-old made the switch over back to America leaving his previous employers, Newcastle United from the Premier League

FC Cincinnati vs. Atlanta United FC - My Pick

• FC Cincinnati vs. Atlanta United FC pick: FC Cincinnati moneyline 3-way (-125) at bet365

Rolling into Saturday's tilt, all signs point towards backing the host and we feel it’s the play to wager on. Historically, Atlanta has never been a huge threat when they are the visiting club, since 2021 The Five Stripes have only accumulated 13 road wins. Another reason to fade the guests on Saturday is the amount of staff that will be missing due to international duty in this March window, Atlanta will be without eight players versus Cincinnati’s two. A heavily rotated side on the road puts Atlanta in a dilemma, giving the home side the greater advantage on Saturday.
