MLS - FC Cincinnati at New York City FC 

Game Thoughts: While Cincy come in with the East's best road record it's been anything but impressive lately as some regression away from home has set in with a 1-1-2 record their last 4 away from home losing 3-1 to NYRB, 3-0 to Inter Miami and drawing 2-2 at Nashville. They've clinched a playoff spot and sit 3rd with a chance to catch Columbus but it's New York City's form I want to focus on here. NYCFC come off a big 5-1 win over rivals New York Red Bulls which came after a good 1-1 draw against Inter Miami and I believe using Inter Miami as a measuring stick for teams is a good tool as they very rarely play a bad one. Additionally, the duo of Maxi Moralez and Alonso Martinez up top is gelling at the right time and they'll pose problems for defenses here on out. An improve xG from NYCFC and one slowly heading the other way for Cincinnati has us on the home side here.
