Charlotte FC vs. FC Cincinnati odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Charlotte FC vs. FC Cincinnati odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Charlotte FC (2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses) welcomes FC Cincinnati (3-2-0) to Bank of America Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Charlotte FC vs. FC Cincinnati odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Charlotte FC is coming off a 2-0 home win last Saturday over the 2023 MLS Cup Champions, the Columbus Crew. Charlotte has won both of its home games this season, ending with 0.8 or more expected goals in each. It has tallied 7 points on the season mainly due to its strong defense, allowing just 4 goals in 5 games. It has yet to concede at home as well. Charlotte’s main weapon offensively is F Brecht Dejaegere, the only player on the season with both a goal and assist.

FC Cincinnati, which is coming off a Supporters Shield in 2023, has picked up where it left off. Cincinnati has won both of its games on the road, beating Chicago 2-1 and New England 2-1 despite having fewer expected goals in both games. FCC has had 3 clean sheet performances and tallied 5 goals across its 5 games. It is led by reigning MLS MVP, M Luciano Acosta, who has 2 goals and 2 assists on the season.

Charlotte FC vs. FC Cincinnati picks and predictions

Prediction

Charlotte FC 1, FC Cincinnati 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+220).

Something is going to have to change for 1 of these clubs Saturday evening. Charlotte FC and FC Cincinnati are both undefeated in this situation — Charlotte at home and FC Cincinnati on the road. In both road games, FCC has been within 0.2 expected goals of its opponent, so it has consistently played to the level of its competition.

Charlotte doesn’t have a breakthrough star yet like Cincinnati and has struggled consistently generating offense. However, it is at home and has been undefeated there. Considering the trends for both teams, the DRAW (+220) has the most value here.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-122).

If there’s 1 thing both teams can do at a high level, it is defend, which is why the Under has good value here.

FCC looked to bolster its defense this offseason, adding D Miles Robinson. In doing so, it has allowed just 2 goals on the season and more than 1.0 expected goals just once.

Charlotte has gone under this total in 4 of its last 5 games. It has scored multiple goals just once, so it hasn’t often finished its opportunities. Charlotte has yet to allow more than 1.1 expected goals in a game.

Considering those season-long trends for the clubs, take UNDER 2.5 (-122).

FC Cincinnati vs. New York Red Bulls odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s FC Cincinnati vs. New York Red Bulls odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

FC Cincinnati welcomes the New York Red Bulls to TQL Stadium Sunday for Game 1 of a best-of-3 first-round playoff series. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the FC Cincinnati vs. New York Red Bulls odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati won the Eastern Conference with 69 points. They were 20-9-5 (9 draws) on the season and ended with 57 goals for and 39 goals in the 34 league matches. Cincinnati is led by M Luciano Acosta with 17 goals and 10 assists in 32 matches. FCC lost 2-1 inn its lone home game against the Red Bulls on Oct. 4

The Red Bulls finished 8th in the East with 43 points and an 11-10-13 record. New York had a -3 goal differential with 36 goals for and 39 against. The top-7 teams got a guaranteed playoff spot and the Red Bulls beat Charlotte FC 5-2 in a play-in game Wednesday. F Elias Manoel had a hat trick for the home side.

FC Cincinnati vs. New York Red Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 2, New York Red Bulls 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET FC CINCINNATI (-120).

FC Cincinnati lost in their lone home game against the Red Bulls, but they were 13-2-2 at home this season. Their home strength was a pivotal reason for their league-high 69 points.

FCC should also have fresher legs, not having played Wednesday like the Red Bulls. Despite losing at home on Oct. 4 to New York, Cincinnati had more expected goals in that match. FCC is the better, more talented side and should win.

Take FC CINCINNATI (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 2.5 (-105).

The Red Bulls haven’t been a score-heavy side this season. They average 1.06 goals per game and allowing 1.15 per game. While both matches during the season ended 2-1, neither team has more than 1.3 expected goals in either matchup.

To continue, the Red Bulls may have scored 5 on Charlotte but had just 5 expected goals. Against an elite goalie and a better backline, that efficiency is very unlikely to repeat itself.

Given the high intensity of the game and the Red Bulls lacking pace, take UNDER 2.5 (-105).

Inter Miami vs. FC Cincinnati odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Inter Miami vs. FC Cincinnati odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Inter Miami (9 wins, 6 draws, 16 losses) welcomes FC Cincinnati (19-8-5) to DRV PNK Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Inter Miami vs. FC Cincinnati odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati lost 2-1 to the New York Red Bulls at home Wednesday. It had 7 fewer shots and 3 fewer shots on goal. FCC closed as a -120 favorite. It did have 68% possession. FCC is led by MVP-hopeful M Luciano Acosta, who has 16 goals and 10 assists on the season. The club, which has already claimed the Supporters’ Shield, is 6-7-3 on the road.

Inter Miami is 6-4-5 at home this season, and it seems still unknown if star F Lionel Messi will play in this match. He did practice in full this week. Inter is coming off a 4-1 road loss to the Chicago Fire. They are 4-3-2 in MLS action since adding Messi, having won the Leagues Cup as well. Miami has yet to be eliminated from playoff potential, but the odds of it getting in are very slim.

Inter Miami vs. FC Cincinnati picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 2, Inter Miami 2

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+270).

Miami has been competent at home, but it is virtually out of the playoffs and coming off a discouraging loss to a mid-tier Eastern Conference team. Although Cincinnati will likely not play its best XI, I would expect it to put a group on that can challenge Inter.

Inter has drawn 2 of its last 3 games and 2 of its 4 games since Messi’s arrival. FC Cincinnati has drawn 2 of its last 5 games this season and 7 of 16 on the road. For a small unit, back DRAW (+270).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+120).

FC Cincinnati has gone north of even this total in 2 of its last 5 games. It has scored 3 or more goals in 2 of its last 3 as well.

Their defense, which has been solid this season, has allowed 2 or more goals in 3 of its last 5. FCC has depth at forward, but it should be giving players like D Matt Miazga limited minutes with little to play for in this match.

Inter has gone Over this total in 4 of its last 6 games and could thrash an FCC defense if Messi takes the pitch. Expect goals in this one and take OVER 3.5 (+120).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

FC Cincinnati (19 wins, 8 draws, 4 losses) welcomes the New York Red Bulls (8-10-13) to TQL Stadium Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the FC Cincinnati vs. New York Red Bulls odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati is 2-2-1 over its last 5 matches and claimed the Supporters Shield in its 3-2 win over Toronto FC Saturday. Cincinnati sits atop the Eastern Conference with 65 points in 31 matches and has been unstoppable at home, posting a 13-1-1 record. It is led by M Luciano Acosta, who has 15 goals and 10 assists. He is in the running for league MVP.

New York is on the outside looking at a playoff spot, 3 points shy of Montreal for the 9th spot in the conference with 3 games remaining. The Red Bulls are 2-5-8 on the road this season and are led offensively by F Omir Fernandez, who has 6 goals and 3 assists on the season. The Red Bulls have struggled down the stretch, going just 1-2-4 over their last 7.

FC Cincinnati vs. New York Red Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 2, New York Red Bulls 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET FC CINCINNATI (-120).

FC Cincinnati is chasing more than just history with its first Supporters’ Shield for most points in the league. It should want to continue to showcase its dominance at home and continue to be among the all-time great regular season teams. FCC is 13-1-1 at home and taking on a side that has struggled recently and on the road.

New York has struggled immensely to score, averaging just 0.97 goals per game. FCC has a strong defense and could easily hold the Red Bulls scoreless. New York’s season has been difficult to watch without much offensive production and a middle-of-the-pack defense.

Although Cincinnati doesn’t have much to play for. it will have a packed house and should still win. Take FC CINCINNATI (-120).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 2.5 (-105).

New York has gone Under this total in 3 of its last 4 games and in 6 of its last 8. It has been held without a goal in 3 of its last 6 as well and has scored multiple goals just once since July 9. The Red Bulls have a competent defense and a lacking offense.

FCC has gone Under this total in 2 of its last 5 matches, but having the conference locked up could allow them to play at a slower pace and conserve their legs down the stretch.

Nonetheless, the Red Bulls offense has been weak enough and they have a strong enough defense to back fewer goals here. Take UNDER 2.5 (-105).

Atlanta United vs. FC Cincinnati odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Atlanta United vs. FC Cincinnati odds and lines, with expert MLS picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Atlanta United (11 wins, 8 draws, 7 losses) welcomes FC Cincinnati (16-6-3) to Mercedes-Benz Stadium Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Atlanta United vs. FC Cincinnati odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

Atlanta United has played well as of late, beating Nashville 4-0 in their last match Saturday and Seattle 2-0 on Aug. 20. Atlanta is 4-0-2 over its last 6 games. It is 8-3-2 at home this season. In the attack, Atlanta is led by F Giorgos Giakoumakis. This is his 1st season in the MLS, and he has scored 12 goals in 19 matches (13 starts). United’s defense has been their main pain point, allowing 39 goals in 26 matches.

FC Cincinnati is coming off a 3-0 home win over NYCFC and sits atop the Eastern Conference table. They have scored 42 goals and allowed 28 through 25 matches. FCC has played 3 games since Aug. 20, a 3-0 loss at Columbus, their win over NYCFC and a 3-3 (5-4 penalty kicks) loss to Inter Miami in the U.S. Open Cup semifinal. FCC is led by M Luciano Acosta, who has scored 12 goals and assisted on 8 through 24 matches.

Atlanta United vs. FC Cincinnati picks and predictions

Prediction

Atlanta United 2, FC Cincinnati 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET ATLANTA UNITED (+105).

FCC has been putting some miles on their top players. They have played in 2 knockout stage matches and 2 high-profile MLS matches since the start of August. Atlanta has played in just 2 matches during the month. United has also won 4 of their last 6 games and is 8-3-2 at home, a strong home record.

FCC has been unbeatable at home, posting a 12-1-0 record, but they have just 4-5-3 on the road. Playing a surging Atlanta side that thrashed Nashville, one of the better teams in the league, FCC may struggle.

Take ATLANTA UNITED (+105).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-165).

United has scored 6 goals in their last 2 matches and has scored 11 goals in their last 6, netting at least 1 goal in each. While FCC’s defense has been strong for most of the season, they have allowed 12 goals in their last 7 MLS matches. Cincinnati’s defense was awful last season, and it may continue to struggle.

FCC has the potent offense to score as well, tallying 2 or more goals in 5 of their last 6 MLS matches. Atlanta has allowed 4 goals in its last 4 matches as well, so expect Cincinnati to at least get on the board. The value isn’t great for this one, so while it should top 2.5 goals, don’t put a full unit on the Over 2.5 (-165).

FC Cincinnati welcomes Inter Miami to TQL Stadium Wednesday. Kickoff in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup semifinal is set for 7 p.m. ET (Paramount+). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

The U.S. Open Cup is a single-elimination tournament with several U.S.-based soccer leagues, including both the USL Championship and MLS. FC Cincinnati beat the Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC 3-1 at home on June 6 and the New York Red Bulls 1-1 (5-3 penalty kicks) prior to that. FCC sits atop the Eastern Conference and is led by M Luciano Acosta, who has scored 12 goals in 23 MLS appearances.

FC Cincinnati vs. Inter Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Inter Miami 3, FC Cincinnati 2

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN INTER MIAMI (+100).

FC Cincinnati, after a 16-day layoff following its home loss to Nashville SC in the Leagues Cup Round of 32, lost 3-0 on Sunday to its rival, the Columbus Crew. FCC allowed 13 shots and 9 on frame in that match. Its defense has been solid this season, but it was poor in that showing and will be up against its most challenging foe yet.

Similarly, the Messi-led Inter are rolling, and it was noted that he will play after logging heavy minutes in the Leagues Cup. Messi and company should be able to shred through what was a slow backline for FCC.

While FCC should look better at home, expect Miami to get the job done, and Messi to eventually lift a second come within the first few months of his arrival in MLS.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+115).

FCC had the worst defense of any Eastern Conference team that made the playoffs last season, allowing 56 goals in 34 matches. This season has been far better, allowing just 28 in 24 matches while scoring 39. It has scored 2 or more goals in 4 of its last 5 MLS matches and has topped even this total in 3 of its last 5 MLS matches.

The presence of Messi should help push the pace and create opportunities. Miami has also struggled to defend. It has allowed 7 goals in its last 5 games and has allowed at least 1 goal in 4 of it last 5. FCC has a lethal attack, and both teams capabilities in the final third should be on full display.

Mixed with defending concerns, back OVER 3.5 (+115).

FC Cincinnati vs. C.D. Guadalajara odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s FC Cincinnati vs. C.D. Guadalajara Leagues Cup odds and lines, with expert soccer picks, predictions and best bets.

FC Cincinnati welcomes C.D. Guadalajara for a Leagues Cup match Thursday. Kickoff from TQL Stadium in Cincinnati is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the FC Cincinnati vs. C.D. Guadalajara odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati beat Sporting KC in penalty kicks 4-2 to open up its Leagues Cup group stage Sunday, but it had the help of a 1st-half red card for Sporting after the road side took a quick 2-0 lead. A weather delay also played a factor. FCC tied it up at 3-3 and then won in penalty kicks to earn 2 points. FCC has been led this season by All-Star M Luciano Acosta, who has 12 goals and 8 assists in 22 matches.

The Mexican soccer league recently started its 2023-24 season, and C.D. Guadalajara is the lone team having yet to lose, posting a 3-0-0 record. It has scored 7 goals and allowed 2 throughout those matches with 25-year-old F Fernando Beltran and 17-year-old F Jonathan Padilla leading the way with 2 goals each.

FC Cincinnati vs. C.D. Guadalajara picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 2, C.D. Guadalajara 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET FC CINCINNATI (+100).

FC Cincinnati has been on an absolute tear at home this season, winning 11 of 12 matches and drawing the lone match it didn’t win. It is averaging 1.7 goals in MLS play while allowing just 1.09. It should also be getting M Obinna Nwobodo back on the pitch, and that will be a huge help for its midfield.

While Guadalajara has performed well throughout the early season, Mexican teams have slightly underperformed their American counterparts. In the 11 games that have been decided in regulation, MLS teams have won 6 and lost 5.

FCC’s home presence makes this value a good bet, and the MLS has held its own against Mexico. Take FC CINCINNATI (+100).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-120).

Guadalajara has gone Over this total in 2 of its 3 matches this season, and its young, technically-sound forwards could give FC Cincinnati some problems.

Guadalajara has scored at least 2 goals in every game as well, and FCC gave up 2 in the 1st half prior to Sporting KC’s red card. Defense has been an issue for previous FCC teams, and it looked porous Sunday.

FCC has gone Over in 6 straight MLS games and went Over in a 2-2 draw with Sporting last weekend. Expect goals to be scored and take the OVER 2.5 (-120).

FC Cincinnati (14 wins, 2 losses, 6 draws) welcomes Nashville SC (11-7-5) to TQL Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (Apple TV). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the FC Cincinnati vs. Nashville SC odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati drew the New England Revolution at home 2-2 last weekend and beat the New York Red Bulls on the road 2-1 Wednesday. FCC will get F Brandon Vazquez and D Matt Miazga back from international duty and will also have All-Star captain M Lucho Acosta. It is 10-0-1 at home this season. FCC has drawn 3 of its last 6 matches.

Nashville has 1 more game played than Cincinnati and sits 3rd, 10 points behind the East-leading FCC. Nashville’s strength is defense, allowing just 19 goals, the lowest in the conference. It is 3-5-3 on the road this season. Nashville is coming off a 2-0 home loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday. It is led by F Hany Mukhtar, who has 13 goals in 23 matches.

FC Cincinnati vs. Nashville SC picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 1, Nashville SC 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET FC CINCINNATI (-105).

FC Cincinnati has been unbeatable at home, which is why they are 8 points ahead of 2nd-place New England. FCC will be adding arguably 2 of its best 3 players back to the roster which should aid its play. FCC has won 8 of its last 12 games and all but 1 of its 11 home games (which was a draw).

Unlike FCC, Nashville has struggled to win of late. It has lost 3 straight road games and has lost 4 of its last 5 matches. It has been held scoreless in 4 matches as well, often relying on its defense to carry its success. Against a team that has both a capable attack and solid defense, Nashville may be in for trouble.

Take FC CINCINNATI (-105).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-120).

Both FCC and Nashville rank in the bottom half of the league in shots against. FCC has allowed 87 and Nashville 88. Both teams also have elite goalkeeping with FCC sitting 5th in save rate and Nashville atop the league.

Nashville has not scored in 4 of its last 5 games and has allowed 2 or fewer goals in every game this season. It has allowed 1 or 0 in all but 3 games as well.

FCC has had 1.5 or fewer expected goals in 3 of its last 6 home games, and it is facing the best defense in the conference. Nashville’s defensive success and offensive woes should give way to the UNDER 2.5 (-120) being the better angle to bet this battle.

FC Cincinnati vs. New England Revolution picks and predictions

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 1, New England Revolution 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+260).

FC Cincinnati will be without F Brandon Vazquez, who scored the equalizing goal against Jamaica for the USMNT, and key D Matt Miazga. Both of those players have been pivotal for FCC’s success.

Despite its success at home, FCC has struggled on the road, and it will be facing a surging Revolution side that was the best team in the Eastern Conference in 2021.

New England has had more expected goals than its opponent in 3 of its last 6 road matches this season as well. Considering its recent success and recent surge, take a DRAW(+260).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+105).

The Revolution have tightened up their play defensively lately, allowing just 3 goals in their last 4 matches. They allow just 1.21 goals per game. FCC, on the other hand, won’t have a key scorer and has among the best defenses in the MLS, allowing multiple goals in just 4 games this season. It has allowed multiple goals just once at home this season.

Both FCC and New England rank in the top 3 in save percentage, so the keepers have been strong this season. Both teams also rank in the bottom half of the league in goals allowed. Considering the strong defenses, take UNDER 2.5 (+100).

D.C. United vs. FC Cincinnati picks and predictions

Prediction

D.C. United 1, FC Cincinnati 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+250).

FCC has drawn on the road as many times as it has won and lost combined.

While it beat United at home 2-1 on May 6, it has just 0.1 more expected goals than its opponent which suggests it didn’t drastically outplay DC despite being at home. FCC has drawn 2 of its last 4 road matches as well.

United has drawn 2 of their last 4 home matches. For a small unit, take DRAW (+250).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+100).

United has scored in 5 straight home games despite having under 1.0 expected goals in 2 of those. They haven’t consistently generated offense. In 3 of those, they held their opponent to under 1.0 expected goals as well despite having allowed a goal per game over their 5 last matches.

Basically, they have scored often without creating many chances and allowed goals despite limiting quality opportunities. Both teams rank in the bottom half of the league in shots against, with Cincinnati No. 2 in save percentage.

FCC has gone Under this total in 3 of its last 5 matches and 3 of its last 4 on the road. Take the UNDER 2.5 (+100).
