FC Cincinnati desperately need points on Saturday, Oct 31 at 7:00 PM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

FC Cincinnati come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Philadelphia Union, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form (5W from last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Verdict: Philadelphia Union's quality should tell even on the road. FC Cincinnati will push, but the visitors have too much class. Philadelphia Union to win.
