The 2026 Major League Soccer season is now just around the corner. If you're anything like me, you'll be super excited for the return of top-tier stateside soccer. On Saturday, the team that so nearly topped the Eastern Conference at the end of the regular season will get down to business in front of a home crowd. That's right, FC Cincinnati take on Atlanta United at TQL Stadium.
Having easily been one of the best teams in all of Major League Soccer last term, the Orange and Blue will be hoping to go all the way this season. Personally, I wouldn't bet against them doing just that. Unliek Saturday's hosts, who were very strong last time around, the Five Stripes will be looking for sizable growth in 2026. Last season, the men in red and black just weren't good enough. Following some off-season switches, let's see if they can improve during this campaign.

Our FC Cincinnati vs Atlanta United Fc Prediction
During the previous campaign, Evander pulled the strings like few other MLS players, creating regular chances for his Cincinnati colleagues, and the brilliant Brazilian will likely do something similar this time around. Given that he was the third best provider of goals in all of Major League Soccer last season, Cincinnati's main man looks a little leniently priced to register an assist.
Put it this way, if he does assist here, he won't be +225 to do so next week, that's for sure.
Our Cincinnati vs Atlanta United Pick: Evander 1+ Assists.
