Player to watch: Luciano Acosta
We fancy Acosta’s chances of sliding it past New York City’s shot-stopper on the 9th of November, as not only is he the key finisher for Cincinnati, but also the best creator. With 30 goal returns in 2024, Acosta is proving to be one of the best players in the league once more.
Second player to watch: Luca Orellano
Orellano has 15 goal returns for his manager in this Major League Soccer campaign. However, we believe he will be among the starters for coach Noonan on November 9th.
