In our opinion, the key factor in the upcoming match will be the home field. New York has been playing too poorly away from home, and has lost to its upcoming opponent in four previous matches. In addition, Cincinnati has been performing better in the regular championship. We think that the hosts will be able to confirm their status as favorites, which bookmakers assign to them.
Our prediction is a Cincinnati victory with odds of 1.93
