FC Cincinnati vs Chicago Fire: Storylines
FC Cincinnati were able to hold on to a 0-0 tie with Columbus Crew SC this past Saturday on what may have been perhaps their most impressive defensive effort since they made their MLS debut.
Cincinnati have only been able to score 6 goals in the season while conceding 12. They’ve struggled to take the ball up and average slightly over 10 shots per game throughout their first seven games of the season.
Chicago Fire, on the other hand, have also struggled mightily to keep their rivals in check, as they’ve only scored 8 goals while conceding 14 over seven fixtures, winning just a couple of games in the meantime.
The Fire lack a true scoring threat up front. Thus far, none of its players has been able to score more than one goal. Cincinnati’s soft defense may present plenty of opportunities for that negative streak to come to an end.
