Player to watch: Hugo Cuypers
If manager Noonan wants to prove our essential Cincinnati vs Chicago Fire prediction correct, he’d have to be very careful with Hugo Cuypers’ goalscoring capabilities. Cuypers scored the winning goal for his club in the match against Charlotte last week.
Cuypers can’t stop scoring
Since the start of the current Major League Soccer campaign, Chicago Fire’s starting goalscorer has scored 11 league goals. He definitely has the quality to challenge DC United’s Christian Benteke for the Top Goalscorer Award.
