Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner for this clash, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Chicago and Cincinnati will find the net twice at least between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Frank Klopas or Pat Noonan has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s recently either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.22 equating to approximately a 79% probability.
