FC Cincinnati vs. Toronto FC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s FC Cincinnati vs. Toronto FC odds and lines, with MLS picks and predictions.

FC Cincinnati (3 wins, 5 losses, 1 draw) welcomes Toronto FC (3-4-2) to TQL Stadium Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the FC Cincinnati vs. Toronto FC odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

FCC and Toronto played each other last weekend with Cincinnati defeating the home side 2-1. Toronto beat Cincinnati in expected goals and had a few late-game pushes but failed to equalize.

The win moved FCC out of last place in the Eastern Conference. It was also its first win since March 19 after a streak of 4 straight winless matches.

FCC is led by F Brandon Vazquez (5 goals). M Luciano Acosta is the only FCC player with more than 1 goal this season. FCC is just 1-3-0 at home.

Toronto FC has yet to tally a win on the road and will get a prime chance here. Toronto is 0-2-2 on the road. Captained by former UNMNT M Michael Bradley, F Jesús Jiménez leads the team in scoring with 7 goals.

[tipico]

Prediction

Toronto FC 3, FC Cincinnati 1

Money line (ML)

LEAN to TORONTO +250.

Beating a team multiple times in a 5-day span is not easy, and Toronto FC should be able to use fuel from its home loss to propel it in this road battle.

Also, as noted, they did have more expected goals and more shots, just were not connecting. They out-shot FCC 11-7 and had 66% of the possession.

Given neither team has been good in the situation they’re in Wednesday night, I would shy against laying better odds on the team that was at the bottom of the East coming into last weekend.

Toronto has the league’s highest shooting percentage, so they should be able to get looks on frame. They had just 3 on target from 11 shots, which should change on Wednesday.

At this value, I’ll take Toronto for a small unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN to the OVER 3.5 (+140).

Given the values on the 2 suggestions, I wouldn’t back a full-unit bet, but these are 2 of the worst defensive teams in the MLS.

Toronto is 1 of the 4 MLS teams without a clean sheet and FCC is the only team with just 1 clean sheet. Toronto has the second-most shots against them while FCC sits in the bottom 6 as well.

Toronto has gone north of this in 2 of its last 4 while FCC has hit it once while also having seen 3 total goals netted in its last 2 matches. The pace and poor defense should be clear on Wednesday.

Toronto FC vs. FC Cincinnati odds, picks and predictions

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

Toronto FC (3 wins, 3 losses, 2 draws) welcomes FC Cincinnati (2-5-1) to BMO Field Saturday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Toronto FC vs. FC Cincinnati odds and lines, and make our best MLS bets, picks and predictions.

Toronto FC is coming off a thrilling 4-5 loss to NYCFC. Toronto has had quite the season, scoring 15 goals in 8 games and allowing 17. Those respectively rank second and tied for last.

It plays at an ultra-high pace and has seen 16 goals scored in its last 3 games. Toronto is led by 28-year-old Spanish F Jesús Jiménez who has 6 goals on the season.

As for FC Cincinnati, it has allowed 2 goals per game yet has only allowed more than 2 goals twice, once to Austin FC to open the season and against Montreal CF.

FCC has looked better than it did a season ago but still sits last in the Eastern Conference. FCC’s main weapon is F Breener, but it has been F Brandon Vazquez that has led the team in scoring with 5 goals.

Money line: Toronto FC -135 (bet $135 to win $100) | FC Cincinnati +340 (bet $100 to win $340) | Draw +300
Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -190 | U: +155)

[tipico]

Prediction

Toronto FC 2, FC Cincinnati 0

Money line (ML)

BET on TORONTO FC -135.

FC Cincinnati is actually averaging more points per game on the road than at home. That should change as the season progresses.

Toronto, on the other hand, has lost just once at home, a 4-1 defeat at the hand of the New York Red Bulls.

While Toronto may have a horrible defense that’s allowed numerous goals, FCC’s offense has been held scoreless in half its games. Also, in both the road games that FCC did not lose, it has fewer expected goals.

You’re getting in a little late as it was steamed up to -135 from -111 overnight. FCC is the worst team in the East, and at this value, I’d bet they struggle on the road.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN to the UNDER 2.5 (+155).

This is strictly a value play. While Toronto’s offense has scored at will, its expected goals haven’t kept pace.

It’s scored 8 goals in its last 3 games yet had just 1.9 expected goals. It has capitalized on opportunities but has not had many of them. Toronto is t-16 in shots on goal.

Also, FCC has had a few big-time games that it has scored numerous goals, but that hasn’t been its regular style.

With how Toronto has scored a flunky amount of goals to shots on target and FCC has struggled in several games, for this value, I’ll take the Under 2.5 (+155).

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.

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.
