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.

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.

FC Cincinnati at Nashville SC odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s FC Cincinnati at Nashville SC odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

In one of many MLS games Saturday, FC Cincinnati (3 wins, 6 losses, 4 draws) travel south to take on Nashville SC (5-1-8) at Nissan Stadium. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the FC Cincinnati vs. Nashville SC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

Coming off a 1-1 draw with Atlanta United, FC Cincinnati will look to get back to its winning ways. Until a 5-4 loss to CF Montreal last Saturday, FC Cincinnati was on a four-game unbeaten streak.

As for Nashville, it failed to score for the first time in over a month last time out. It played to a 1-1 draw with the Columbus Crew.

Nashville is missing three players currently in Gold Cup action, one of which is Defender of the Year Walker Zimmerman. His absence will leave a gaping hole in the backline.

Prediction

Nashville SC 2, FC Cincinnati 2

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to DRAW (+270) as FC Cincinnati has its full roster and Nashville could struggle without Zimmerman.

Cincinnati will get MF Yuya Kubo back for this match. Combine that with a surging duo in F Brenner and MF Luciano Acosta, and FCC should be able to play with a much better pace than we saw against Atlanta.

To add to that, FCC has played better on the road, where it has all three of its victories. While Nashville SC is the superior side, being down a couple of important players could be the difference between a win and a draw.

Nashville tied three of its last five matches and FCC drew three of its last four.

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

Over/Under (O/U)

BET the OVER 2.5 (-135) as both offenses are surging of late.

On top of that, FCC has one of the worst defenses in MLS. It’s dead last in interceptions and in the bottom half in save rate. FCC has given up 26 goals through 13 games.

As for Nashville, it has scored 21 goals and given up 14 through 14 games and is tied for the third-most goals in the Eastern Conference with 21.

This is a perfect mix for at least 3 goals to be put in the back of the net.

FC Cincinnati at Toronto FC odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s FC Cincinnati at Toronto FC odds and lines, with MLS betting picks and predictions.

In one of several MLS games Saturday night, FC Cincinnati (2 wins, 5 losses, 1 draw) travels south to take on Toronto FC (1-6-2) at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Fla. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the FC Cincinnati vs. Toronto FC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati is playing solid soccer as it comes off its second win of the season. Brazilian F Brenner has been drawing starts and getting good looks while GK Kenneth Vermeer has stepped up in the last few games.

Toronto FC has been playing in Orlando due to COVID-19 restrictions on crossing borders. Toronto is coming off back-to-back 3-2 losses, but it has been able to put the ball in the back of the net, something FC Cincinnati allows to happen frequently.

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 2, Toronto FC 2

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the DRAW (+290) as a value play because both these teams are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference and should play at the same level.

While FC Cincinnati has played very well as of late, pushing the New England Revolution to their limits, it has shown very little consistency on backline and Toronto should be able to exploit that.

Toronto FC is 13th in the East but only four teams in the conference have more goals. Both of these squads give up goals at an alarming rate, and that should yield a rather unpredictable match.

While I may pass on the money line altogether, the DRAW (+290) offers good value, as does the FC Cincinnati money line. You can get FC Cincinnati to win or draw for +110.

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

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (-175), and honestly, I’d probably take this to the next level.

You can get Over 3.5 goals for +135 and Over 4.5 goals for +300, both presenting risky but relatively good values. I’d stick it out at the 2.5 as it seems like easy money.

FC Cincinnati has 1 goal but 41 shots over its last two games. It gets into scoring positions, and against a side that allows those to be completed, FCC should get on the board early and often.

In what’s expected to be a high-scoring affair, Toronto FC should also look to pile on the scoring, having scored twice in each of its last two games against better defensive teams than FCC.

Twenty-nine-year-old MF Jonathan Osorio will look to continue his two-game scoring streak, and there’s no reason to think he won’t have a couple of chances to put one away.

However, FC Cincinnati hasn’t seen a total Over 2.5 goals in any its last three games, so it’s not an entirely risk-free bet.

FC Cincinnati at Chicago Fire SC preview, odds and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s FC Cincinnati at Chicago Fire SC odds and lines, with MLS betting picks, tips and best bets.

In one of many MLS games Wednesday night, FC Cincinnati (1 win, 5 losses, 1 draw) take to the road to play the Chicago Fire SC (1-6-1). Kickoff is slated for 8 p.m. ET at Soldier Field. Below, we preview the FC Cincinnati vs. Chicago Fire SC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

In a match between the two worst teams in the Eastern Conference, FC Cincinnati will look to get points for the first time since its 2-1 win over CF Montreal. That was Cincinnati’s only win of the season, and it was on the road. Since then, it has dropped two straight games at home.

As for the Fire, they’ve lost six of their last seven games. Their only win of the season was at home.

Both teams played Saturday, so there could be some fatigue.

Prediction

FC Cincinnati 1, Chicago Fire SC 0

Money line (ML)

BET on FC CINCINNATI +333 because it has the best value.

Cincinnati plays much better on the road and has had many looks in its last two games but just hasn’t been able to finish. It totaled 22 shots with 7 on goal against the playoff-contending Colorado Rapids Saturday.

FCC is dead last because it can’t defend, but Chicago can’t score. The Fire’s 4 goals are the fewest in MLS, so their weakness is matching up with Cincinnati’s weakness.

The Fire controlled possession in their last two matches and totaled more shots than their opponents.

The best value may be the combined FCC win or draw which is on BetMGM at +115. Both that and FCC outright are values worth betting.

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

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 2.5 (+125) strictly on the fact that these two teams just cannot finish in the final third. They have a combined 10 goals through 15 games.

Both defenses are awful as well, so that’s not helpful. Since the commencement of the season, FCC has brought in D Geoff Cameron to at least attempt to strengthen the backline.

The Fire’s last six games haven’t hit 3 goals. After hitting that number in each of its first five games of the season, FC Cincinnati failed to score in its last two matches and has given up a combined 3 goals.

The Under has value as a plus-money bet, but I wouldn’t go crazy on it considering the weakness of the two defenses.

Colorado Rapids at FC Cincinnati preview, odds and prediction

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

The Colorado Rapids (4 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw) return from the international break and take a trip to play FC Cincinnati (1-4-1). The match takes place Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET at TQL Stadium. Below, we preview the Colorado Rapids vs. FC Cincinnati odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati is coming off a home game at the New England Revolution which it lost 1-0. Taking on the Eastern Conference’s best team, FCC had many chances in front of their raucous crowd. It’ll need to eventually get some points at home, but it won’t be easy against a top-four team in the Western Conference.

As for Colorado, the Rapids’ last few outings have been highly impressive, with 2.5 goals per game over their last four outings. They scored 3 goals in three of their last four games. Against a week FCC defense, that scoring prowess could make this game an absolute thriller, or a one-sided barrage.

Prediction

Colorado 3, FC Cincinnati 1

Money line (ML)

BET against the home side as the RAPIDS (+120) have great value. FCC has yet to win or even draw at home.

For FCC fans, it’s a tough product to watch as their team has played at least one fewer game than every other MLS team and they are still last in goals allowed.

Colorado has two losses against bottom-half teams in the West, so it has fumbled the match a couple of times. I wouldn’t think this is one of them as the more skilled team should come out on top.

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

Over/Under (O/U)

BET the OVER 2.5 (-150) despite the value not quite being there. The value for the Over isn’t ideal, but the Rapids were on fire before the break and are taking on the worst defense in MLS.

They should be able to get 3 goals by themselves. On top of that, FC Cincinnati has really only been involved in high-scoring matches. Five of their last six matches had a total of 3 or more goals.

Having been at their last match, it certainly felt like far more opportunities were created than the scoreline showed. Now, it’s typically tough to get good value when betting on 3 goals, but it would be shocking if at least 3 didn’t find the back of the net Saturday.

Prediction

Nashville SC 1, FC Cincinnati 0

Money line (ML)

NASHVILLE SC (-115) is worth the play. It was a tremendous defensive club last season, while FC Cincinnati has struggled in each of its first two seasons in the MLS. Cincinnati also might have a little rust as it only played two of its six scheduled preseason matches due to COVID-19 issues.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (-200) is the way to go in Nashville matches. Three of its final four matches last fall finished Under 2.5 goals.

Cincinnati scored one or no goals in its final five regular-season matches and its lone playoff game. In 24 matches last season, FC Cincinnati managed just 0.54 goals per match with four clean sheets against.
