One of Saturday's earlier Major League Soccer kicks off will be at TQL Stadium in Ohio, where Cincinnati take on Austin. The hosts were rocked by NYCFC last week, losing by a goal to zero away from home, meaning that they're now two points behind current league leaders Columbus Crew, though it's fair to say that Pat Noonan's men remain strong. They've been very good on home soil, where they've won each of their last two and where they are yet to lose this season, so we shouldn't expect them to stay down for long.
While the hosts suffered a narrow defeat a week ago, the Austin boys took a heavy beating, losing by three goals to zero at home to Minnesota, failing to win for the second MLS game in a row. Fortunately, Nico Estevez's men bounced back during the week, beating USL Championship side El Paso in the US Open Cup. With that win under their belts, they ought to go to TQL Stadium with renewed confidence, which is absolutely what is needed ahead of such a tough trip.

Our FC Cincinnati vs Austin FC Prediction
OK, so Evander didn't find the net at Yankee Stadium last week. No Austin player did, though I remain of the opinion that the early market is overlooking the Brazilian's threat level. Let's be honest, few players have been as strong in the final third at Cincinnati's summer acquisition, who has scored six goals so far this season. Evander also averages a whopping 0.65 goals per 90 minutes, while he's shooting an average of 3.75, so he's clearly hungry for goals. At odds of +175, I'm betting that his hunger is satisfied here.
Our Cincinnati vs Austin Pick: Evander to Score.
