The 2025 preseason for Cincinnati is officially over. Now the focus shifts to facing FC Motagua on Wednesday night in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Cincinnati qualified for the 60th edition of this continental tournament after their fifth-place finish in the Supporter’s Shield. The Orange and Blue will come into this matchup following an undefeated preseason run of two wins and two draws. However, their head coach, Pat Noonan, will know that the Hondurans have match fitness on their side. FC Motagua is third in the Clausura after playing seven competitive league games, earning three wins and two draws. They have looked sharp lately, scoring 8 goals in the last three games. However, their previous matchup ended in a 2-0 home loss to Olimpia. This result should motivate the visitors to play for a win.

Our FC Motagua Tegucigalpa vs FC Cincinnati Prediction

FC Cincinnati has endured a rough preseason, losing former MVP Luciano Acosta to FC Dallas. Injuries have also hit the squad, with Gerado “Dado” Valenzuela and Sergio Santos set to sit out of round 1 of the CONCACAF Champions Cup in Honduras. However, Yuya Kubo and Luca Orellano have reported to training. Gilberto Flores and Lucas Engel have also received their Visas and will travel to Tegucigalpa. They have looked defensively strong in preseason and should frustrate the hosts to a 0-0 or 1-1 draw. This is the first time these two teams have met in any competition. Our prediction for FC Motagua vs FC Cincinnati: Under 2.5 goals.

Prediction:

 

Under 2.5 goals.
