We are minutes away from the start of the Cincinnati-Houston game for the American Athletic Conference Championship Game title.

Also this game may be close because both defenses only allow less than 20 points per game: Houston does it with 19.8 and Cincinnati barely allows 15.8.

With its second uniform, Houston will take the field looking for revenge and surprise in the American Athletic Conference Championship Game.

A beautiful postcard from Cincinnati as they gathered on the field all united, praying for a good season and for the victory this Saturday.

The offensive production of both teams is very even, as Houston accumulates 422.6 yards per game, while Cincinnati records 430.4 between passing and ground yards.

This is what Cincinnati Stadium looks like prior to the kickoff of this game, where cold weather is expected but with good conditions for the soccer game to take place:

Despite the fact that the series has been close in the last few games, Cincinnati starts as the favorite for this game with an 82.6% chance of winning, according to ESPN's website.

Although Cincinnati ranked fourth in the latest rankings, many people remain skeptical, and this afternoon will be their litmus test against an in-form Houston.

Houston and Cincinnati clash in a key game in search of a place in one of the best bowls to be played in December and January. We start with the coverage of the game in VAVEL.

The record between these two franchises has been very even in the last five games on either field, with Cincinnati holding the slightest advantage with three wins in exchange for two losses.

Houston Cougars 10-38 Cincinnati Bearcats, 2020

Cincinnati Bearcats 38-23 Houston Cougars, 2019

Houston Cougars 40-16 Cincinnati Bearcats, 2016

Cincinnati Bearcats 30-33 Houston Cougars, 2015

Houston Cougars 31-38 Cincinnati Bearcats, 2014

If Cincinnati is ranked as the fourth-best team in the nation it's due in large part to the work of Jerome Ford, who has rushed 182 times for 1,055 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Nathaniel Dell has drawn attention for his physical power in both muscle and speed, plus he's racked up 71 catches, 1,027 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Houston has a record of 11 wins and 1 loss in 2021, and 8-0 in the conference; same conference record as Cincinnati, although they are a perfect 12-0.

This has been Cincinnati's key all season and they should not have to change, since they accumulate 176.8 yards per game through this route and that has allowed a good development of the air attack to cause pain in the rival defenses.

The point to follow for Houston will be not to make mistakes throughout the game against a defense that usually pressures and causes losses; throughout the season their offense has been very balanced between passing and carries.

These two teams are ranked among the top 25 in the nation and will define the champion of the American Athletic Conference Championship Game; however, the Cincinnati Bearcats are the overwhelming favorites to win against the Houston Cougars.

The Houston Cougars vs Cincinnati Bearcats match will be played at the Nippert Stadium, in Cincinnati, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 4:10 pm ET.
