Bongokuhle Hlongwane led the team in these two games, scoring three goals, and being Minnesota’s key player on the field.

We expected more from an Ohio clash between FC Cincinnati and the Columbus Crew last Saturday night. In the end, it was a goalless torture for the fans who saw nothing interesting.

This was the second time in the past three games that Cincinnati’s offense couldn’t score. Previously, they failed to net in Miami against Inter, 2-0, and then trashed Montreal at home, 4-1.

Overall, FC is solid away from home, having 28 points in 13 matches, nine wins, one tie and three losses, 24-19 goal difference.

Minnesota vs. Cincinnati Prediction

Cincinnati has nothing to lose and comes without pressure on Allianz Field.

The hosts, on the other hand, have to go after a win and be aggressive, which should create an environment for high efficiency—over 2.5 goals on both sides, to be precise.
