Preview
Minnesota United FC and FC Cincinnati meet , in a match for the 0ª round of the MLS. The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 06‑06‑2018, and ended in a (1‑3) win by Minnesota United FC, after a penalty shootout. FC Cincinnati registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

On Saturday, Minnesota United host Cincinnati at the Allianz Field in a game valid for Major League Soccer. The two teams that are facing each other are at different conferences and make different campaigns. The hosts are going through a relatively good time and are in the Western Conference playoffs zone. Meanwhile the visitors have the worst campaign of the Eastern Conference and the whole MLS. Of course they both want a good result, but the home team are the favorites. The last time they met Minnesota United won on penalties after a 0-0 draw.

Analysis Minnesota

The home team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after having eliminated Colorado Rapids with a away loss by (1‑0) in the previous round. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 28 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 21 conceded. In their last match, for the US Open Cup, they got an away win against Houston Dynamo by (2‑3). In the last 7 home league matches Minnesota United FC has a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 12 points out of 21 possible. In their home matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 0‑0 (3 out of 7 matches) and after the 90' 1‑0 (3 out of 7 matches). They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 16 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

The campaign presented by Minnesota United is certainly not bad, but the hosts will seek regularity throughout the rounds. The team know that the championship is difficult, so they should have a lot of competence to have a favorable campaign. As they will face an opponent which makes a campaign worse than theirs they want a favorable result. They should impose themselves in the field and not give spaces, after all it is next to their fans that they will be playing. With concentration and determination it is easier to approach a favorable score. About the game itself is difficult to say what has to be done, but basic things are clear. If they have peace of mind to work the ball and reach the opposing box their chances of having a positive score increase. On the other hand, Minnesota United know they can not be careless with their defense either. This is said, because any mistake they make may result in the opponent's goal. So, the team expect a perfect performance to have a good result and grow in the championship. In this match Carter Manley and Boby Shuttleworth will be out because they are in the medical department.

Confirmed Lineup: Vito Mannone, Chase Gasper, Michael Boxall, Hassani Dotson, Ike Opara, Ján Greguš, Osvaldo Alonso, Ethan Finlay, Miguel Ibarra, Angelo Rodríguez, Darwin Quintero.
Coach: A. Heath.

Analysis Cincinnati

The away team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a home loss by (0‑2) against LA Galaxy. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 29 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 20 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches FC Cincinnati has a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 8 losses, so they have won 4 points out of 30 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 7 losses in the last away matches and they haven't won any of the last 12 matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (5 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

The Cincinnati campaign is very weak, so the team need to improve and all that to at least improve their position. The idea is to have maturity in the field and know how to adapt to each game, showing evolution and achieving positive results. So the visitors know the importance of scoring points even away from home and that means that they will go after something favorable. They are focused on having a quality performance and without making mistakes, after all so they can have a positive score. Winning at a time like this can be critical to their growth.
In this round Cincinnati will face an opponent that comes better in the competition and this ends up making their life difficult. Therefore, the team know that they need to have their attention redoubled, as any carelessness can end up being fatal. Thus, the idea is to show homogeneity in all sectors of the field. If they have a high level of performance and do not make mistakes they might get a good result. In this match Jimmy McLaughlin, Greg Garza, Roland Lamah and Fanendo Adi will be out for being in the medical department.

Confirmed Lineup: Spencer Richey, Justin Hoyte, Nick Hagglund, Mathieu Deplagne, Caleb Stanko, Eric Alexander, Victor Ulloa, Frankie Amaya, Emmanuel Ledesma, Kekuta Manneh, Rashawn Dally.
Coach: Tyrone Marshall.
