Orlando City SC at FC Cincinnati odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Orlando City SC at FC Cincinnati odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

In one of many MLS games Saturday, Orlando City SC (8 wins, 4 losses, 5 draws) travel north to take on FC Cincinnati (3-7-6) at TQL Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Orlando City SC vs. FC Cincinnati odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

Having added a couple of defenders in the last week, FC Cincinnati is looking to improve where it’s weakest. Hopefully, it will help its fortune as well as it hasn’t won June 26.

Cincinnati has drawn its last two matches. At home yet again, FCC has yet to win at its brand-new stadium. It’ll get a tough matchup this time as well with the second-ranked team in the Eastern Conference coming to Cincinnati.

Orlando City, led by F Nani, won two of its last four matches. It has won just three of eight on the road this season.

Prediction

Orlando City SC 2, FC Cincinnati 1

Money line (ML)

BET on ORLANDO CITY SC (+155) as it’s the more-proven side. Well, and the fact FCC has yet to win at home. That certainly doesn’t help anything.

Oh, and add to that FCC just mutually parted ways with its general manager. While it added a few defenders, there’s no telling if they’ll up to speed for this game.

On the other side of the field, an experienced Nani will be looking to break down the second-worst defense in the East. Given FCC’s internal struggles and inability to get results at home, expect Orlando to come out on top.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (-140) as Orlando City’s defense has also struggled.

It has given up 22 goals through 17 matches which is the worst of any team in playoff contention. Orlando ranks fifth in goals and seventh in shots on target.

With FCC is in the bottom 10 in save percentage, there’s no reason at least 3 goals shouldn’t be netted in this one. FCC hit the Over in three of its last six matches while Orlando City’s hit the Over in nine of its last 11.

Nashville SC at New England Revolution odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Nashville SC at New England Revolution odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

In one of 12 MLS games Wednesday night, Nashville SC (6 wins, 1 loss, 9 draws) travels to take on the New England Revolution (11-3-3) at Gillette Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Nashville SC at New England Revolution odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

With the CONCACAF Gold Cup finished, MLS clubs will return to full strength. New England will be thankful as that means GK Matt Turner returns to action. With 11 wins on the season, New England is, by far, leading the Eastern Conference.

However, the Revolution get one of their toughest tests yet in a Nashville team that has just one loss through16 matches.

Nashville has allowed just 15 goals through 16 games, partially due to All-Star D Walker Zimmerman. After picking up an injury in international play, it doesn’t appear as though Zimmerman will play against the Revolution, a huge loss for the road side.

PLAY our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Prediction

New England 2, Nashville 1

Money line (ML)

BET on NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION (-133) as they’re the most talented team in the East.

On top of that, they’ve won six of their seven home matches, so they play well at Gillette. Nashville has played a league-high 11 matches at home and has yet to win on the road.

With Zimmerman out, I’d expect the Revolution to be able to break down that Nashville backline. Revolution F Gustavo Bou and F Adam Buksa both rank in the top 10 in goals scored.

New England’s offense is that good and should propel it to victory Wednesday night. The Revolution won each of their last four matches.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET the OVER 2.5 (-133) as, on paper, this is the best offense in the East against the best defense. The lack of an All-Star defender will hurt Nashville enough to make it susceptible to an elite New England attack.

Nashville hit the Over in three of its last five matches while New England played to the Over 2.5 goals in eight of its last nine games.

D.C. United at Columbus Crew odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s D.C. United at Columbus Crew odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

In one of 12 MLS games Wednesday night, D.C. United (6 wins, 7 losses, 3 draws) travel to take on the Columbus Crew (6-4-6) at Lower.com Field. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the D.C. United vs. Columbus Crew odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

With all the CONCACAF Gold Cup players back, both sides can look to return to their early-season form.

For the Crew, that means the return of F Gyasi Zardes. He scored 4 goals across his final five MLS matches before scoring twice in six Gold Cup appearances.

The Crew need his help as they were destroyed by NYCFC in their last outing. That said, they aren’t the only side that will have a key player return, as M Paul Arriola will be back for United.

Coming off a 0-0 draw with FC Cincinnati despite being shown two red cards, United will have the chance to jump into the Eastern Conference’s top-seven teams with a win or a draw and a CF Montreal loss.

D.C. United at Columbus Crew: Odds, picks and predictions

  • Money line: D.C. United +230 (bet $100 to win $230) | Columbus Crew +125 (bet $100 to win $125) | Draw +200
  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: +125 | U: -170)

PLAY our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Prediction

Columbus Crew 1, D.C. United 0

Money line (ML)

BET on the COLUMBUS CREW (+125) as the best value on the money line. It’s less of a bet on the Crew and more of a bet on just how awful United has been on the road this season.

United has lost five of nine road matches. On top of that, the Crew have won four of seven in front of their home crowd.

The Crew won two of their last four games and their defense has been the main reason for the success. After a brutal road loss, I expect them to bounce back at home.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 2.5 (-170) although the cost is a bit steep.

Neither team ranks in the top 10 in MLS in goals. Even with Arriola and Zardes back, it’s unlikely they put in a full 90 minutes after both getting extensive time with the USMNT.

The Crew hit the Under in five of their last nine matches. United played to the Under in each of their last two matches as they’ve struggled to consistently score. They had just 5 shots on target in their last two games.

The Under is the better play but, at these odds, place only half a unit on it.

ThePostGame checks out the recent trends between the MLS Western Conference opponents Los Angeles FC and Sporting Kansas City.

Los Angeles FC hosts Sporting Kansas City Wednesday in the teams’ second matchup of the season. In their June contest, Kansas City came away with a 2-1 win over the visiting LAFC. This time, Sporting KC is the road team, and is coming off a rare home loss to FC Dallas. LA will try to keep the momentum away from the Western Conference’s No. 2, aiming to give the club a second straight loss for the first time this season.

ThePostGame checks out the recent trends between the MLS Eastern Conference opponents Toronto FC and Nashville SC.

Closing out Major League Soccer’s Week 16 is a Sunday night meeting between Toronto FC and Nashville SC in Toronto. The Eastern Conference matchup marks Nashville’s first game in Toronto since it joined MLS ahead of the 2020 season. 

Toronto struggled early in the season, but has turned around its performance since hiring a new coach in Week 11. Nashville leads the teams’ all-time series 2-0, winning both games at home, but does Toronto have what it takes to win in the first contest played at BMO Field?

Minnesota United FC at Vancouver Whitecaps FC odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Minnesota United FC at Vancouver Whitecaos FC odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

In the last of many MLS games Saturday, Minnesota United FC (6 wins, 5 losses, 4 draws) travel to take on the Vancouver Whitecaps FC (3-7-5) at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah. Kickoff is set for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Minnesota United FC at Vancouver Whitecaps FC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

Both sides should be at full strength as neither have any players still in CONCACAF Gold Cup play. Each had at least one player that was in Canada’s 2-1 loss to Mexico in the semifinals.

United won two of their last three games and come off a 2-2 draw with Los Angeles FC Wednesday.

The Whitecaps, despite Rio Tinto Stadium not truly being at home, have all three of their victories there. They’ve won three of seven matches at home. They also come off a 2-2 draw with LAFC July 24.

Prediction

Minnesota United FC 1, Vancouver Whitecaps 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” on the DRAW (+280) as Vancouver has looked competent at home. They also have the more dynamic weapon in F Cristian Dájome, who has 6 goals through 15 matches.

With 4 goals in 10 appearances, M Robin Lod has been the only United player to find much success.

While the Whitecaps have given up 25 goals, taking out a 4-goal home loss to Real Salt Lake, Vancouver has given up just 4 goals in six matches at Rio Tinto Stadium.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (+120) as neither offense has shown much consistently. Both teams recently hit the Over against LAFC, but it’s tough to gauge their style against such an upbeat team.

Minnesota and Vancouver have a combined 105 shots on targets through 30 matches. Despite having recently found some success, the Whitecaps have the fewest shots on targets in all of MLS.

United hit the Under in nine of the last 13 matches. As neither team has an elite attack, expect a slow-paced game Saturday.

Colorado Rapids at Austin FC odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Colorado Rapids at Austin FC odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Colorado Rapids (7 wins, 4 losses, 3 draws) travel south to take on Austin FC (3-7-4) at Q2 Stadium. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Colorado Rapids vs. Austin FC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

The Rapids are entering this match dangerously shorthanded. As the United States is set to play in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final, the Rapids will continue to be without M Kellyn Acosta, F Jonathan Lewis and D Sam Vines.

Austin FC, who has been among the worst teams in the Western Conference this season, won’t be missing anyone for Gold Cup action; however, they’ve still lost three of their last five matches.

Prediction

Austin FC 1, Colorado Rapids 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the DRAW (+240) as the Rapids are still a strong side, despite their absences.

The Rapids are 2-1-2 over their last five matches. They’re coming off a rough 3-0 loss against Real Salt Lake but have recently taken down both FC Dallas and Minnesota United FC.

Without a key midfielder and defender, it could be tough for the Rapids to gain much traction. Austin FC hasn’t been competent offensively this season, with just 10 goals through 14 matches.

Expect a low-scoring, even-sided game in this one. The draw is the best value on the money line.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (-115) as Austin has one of the worst offenses in MLS. It has also given up only 15 goals in 14 matches.

The Rapids will be without one of their key midfielders and only F Michael Barrios has consistently been a threat for the away side. He has scored 4 goals in 14 starts.

Despite the Rapids’ 21 goals, I’d bet on this being a slower-paced game as they’re on the road and short-handed, having also come off a loss July 24.

The Rapids hit the Under in four of their last five matches. Austin FC played to the Under in eight of its last nine games.

FC Dallas at Sporting Kansas City odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s FC Dallas at Sporting Kansas City odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

In one of several MLS games Saturday, FC Dallas (3 wins, 7 losses, 5 draws) travel north to take on Sporting Kansas City (9-3-3) at Children’s Mercy Park. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the FC Dallas at Sporting Kansas City odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

FC Dallas is coming off arguably its most impressive win of the season, a 4-0 victory over the LA Galaxy. While the Galaxy were short-handed, Dallas made sure to get the job done. It’s still just 1-3-1 over its last five games.

Dallas will not be missing any players due to CONCACAF Gold Cup action. Sporting Kansas City will be without M Gianluca Busioi and F Alan Pulido.

Sitting in second place in the Western Conference, Sporting have won four of their last five.

Prediction

Sporting Kansas City 2, FC Dallas 1

Money line (ML)

BET on SPORTING KANSAS CITY (-200) as the better side should come out on top. Especially at home, Sporting should have an advantage.

While FC Dallas may be coming off a decisive victory, it’s much less impressive when you realize the Galaxy were without F Chicharito and F Jonathan dos Santos.

So far this season, Sporting has used their home-field advantage well, having yet to lose through eight games in front of their fans. They’ve won five of eight home matches and this should make their sixth win of the season at home.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the OVER 2.5 (-165) as it’s the far better bet on the total.

Sporting has had one of the best offenses in the league and ranks second in shots and third in goals in MLS. Also, Dallas ranks in the bottom half in save percentage.

Flip the script, and it helps the case even further. Dallas has a capable attack with 18 goals through 15 matches but has given up 23.

Combine the solid attacking presence from both sides and the Over makes the most sense.

D.C. United at FC Cincinnati odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s D.C. United at FC Cincinnati odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

In one of a plethora of MLS games Saturday, D.C. United (6 wins, 7 losses, 2 draws) travel to play FC Cincinnati (3-7-4) at TQL Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the D.C. United vs. FC Cincinnati odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati welcomes DC United in hopes it can finally get three points at home. FCC is 0-3-2 in its brand-new stadium.

While FC Cincinnati should be back to full strength, D.C. United won’t be. United are still down F Paul Arriola and D Donovan Pines, who are both playing for the USMNT in CONCACAF Gold Cup action.

D.C. United are coming in with two wins, two losses and a draw over their last five games. They’re led by F Ola Kamara who has been one of the most dangerous attacking players in the MLS this season.

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 2, D.C. United 1

Money line (ML)

BET on FC CINCINNATI (+155) to get its first win at home. Without Arriola, D.C. United’s attack isn’t quite the same.

Along those lines, United has been downright awful away from home, losing five of eight games. Although FC Cincinnati has struggled at home, the crowd has continued to show up.

Despite their fortune so far, most teams are better in front of their home crowd. Cincinnati lost 3-0 to Nashville SC in its last outings, but is 1-2-3 over its last six games.

Cincinnati is in store for a win at home, and against a short-handed United side, it’s as good as chance as it’ll get.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (-105) as both sides have had high-scoring matches lately.

United hit the Over in four of their last five matches. FC Cincinnati has seen at least 3 goals scored in three of their last four matches.

While Arriola may not be with the team, Kamara has been doing enough to scare the FC Cincinnati defense. Backed by F Brenner and winger Luciano Acosta, FCC’s attack has also been lethal.

FC Cincinnati has scored 8 goals in its last five games while United tallied 12 over their last five matches. Combine it all, and the Over looks like good value.
