Both sets of fans can dream here: this is two in-form sides on a collision course. Nashville SC come in on a W-W-D-L-W run, FC Cincinnati have gone W-D-W-L-W, and neither will fear the other. When form meets form like this, something has to give, and whichever way it breaks, it should be a proper occasion. Nashville SC's home form is particularly impressive right now. They're performing above their season average on their own turf.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Nashville SC create chances worth 1.8 a game (and give up chances worth 1.7), leaving them +0.1 a game on the balance. FC Cincinnati create 1.4 (giving up 1.9) for a balance of -0.6. The underlying numbers clearly favour Nashville SC. They're creating better chances AND giving up fewer good ones.
Goals are a tough one to call here. Nashville SC are scoring 1.6 a game (2.1 of those at home) and FC Cincinnati manage 1.4 (1.4 on the road). Add it up and it's basically a coin-flip whether we see three or more, we make it 66%, so there's no strong lean either way on the goals line. There's a good chance both teams find the net, and we make it 68%. Nashville SC score in 81% of their games and FC Cincinnati in 79%, and neither back line is tight enough to bank on a clean sheet. Their past meetings back this up. These two average 3.9 goals when they meet, with 6 of the last 10 producing three or more.
In the last 10 meetings: Nashville SC have won 3, FC Cincinnati 4, with 3 draws. These fixtures average 3.9 goals per game. 6 of the last 10 produced 3+ goals. Both teams have scored in most of their recent meetings, so there's a good chance both find the net again. Recent results: FC Cincinnati 2-1 Nashville SC, Nashville SC 1-2 FC Cincinnati, Nashville SC 2-2 FC Cincinnati.
