FC Cincinnati<\/a> host Nashville SC<\/a> at TQL Stadium on Saturday, November 7 (4:00 PM ET \/ 3:00 PM CT \/ 1:00 PM PT).<\/strong><\/p>\n

No fresh fitness concerns have been flagged for either side ahead of this one, with the firepower up top the clear story heading into the lineups. Denkey leads the Cincinnati attack with 17 goals this season, backed by Evander in midfield on 14 goals and 89 chances created, while Barlow adds another goal threat with 10 for the season. Nashville counter with Surridge<\/a> spearheading the line on 18 goals and Mukhtar just behind him on 17, with Espinoza supplying from midfield on 69 chances created.<\/p>\n

Nashville SC’s position at the top of the East is built on a league-leading +43 goal difference, and the blend of Surridge’s power and Mukhtar’s craft gives them a different gear than anything Cincinnati have faced in the East this season. Cincinnati’s own goal difference sits at -6, a sign their defense has had its leaky spells, which should give Denkey and the home attack room to find a goal of their own at TQL Stadium. Expect goals at both ends, with Nashville’s superior quality in the final third enough to edge a tight contest.<\/p>\n
