It's a quick turnaround in Major League Soccer. Having played on Wednesday night, it's back down to business for the Columbus Crew and Cincinnati on Saturday evening. The pair will lock horns at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field, where the hosts will be hoping to bounce back following their midweek defeat at home to NYCFC. For the visitors, it's all about building on an impressive win against the Whitecaps.
Right now, the FC Cincinnati offense is hot, so much so that the visitors are worth betting on to score at least two goals in this fixture. During the week, the Orange & Blue looked deadly on the break, while with someone like Evander in their team, they're also adept at breaking through when teams sit back. Given that the hosts looked all at sea defensively on Wednesday evening, odds of +106 can be classed as a little generous.

Our Columbus Crew vs FC Cincinnati Prediction
There wasn't a great deal to like about the Crew's defensive effort on Wednesday evening, with the men from Ohio looking particularly weak on the break. This does not bode well ahead of a game against a very strong counter-offensive side like Cincinnati.
Moreover, the visitors arrive with their tails up having scored four goals against one of the best teams in all of Major League Soccer. With the likes of Kevin Denkey and Evander, both of whom scored in the week, in form, the visitors will be looking to strike while the iron is hot, and at odds of +106, they're worth betting to do just that by notching multiple goals for the fifth straight away game.
Our Columbus Crew vs FC Cincinnati Pick: FC Cincinnati to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
