Two winless teams at the weekend, FC Cincinnati and New York City FC, clash this Wednesday at TQL Stadium in the hunt for a positive result. The hosts tied in Florida last time out. In front of a home crowd, they are in a much better position to get a win. Compared to the away side, who threw away a 2-0 lead and ended up defeated on home soil. 

After the disappointing result against Philadelphia Union on Saturday, it now makes it three losses in a row for Pascal Jansen’s squad, shipping multiple goals in each. With their last two being at home, they should find this a taxing game facing a Cincinnati team that can’t stop scoring on home soil; whilst they did lose in their last home game, they have not gone two on the bounce defeated at TQL Stadium. All things considered, the parlay FC Cincinnati to Win and Over 1.5 Goals is a smart bet at odds of +115.

Our FC Cincinnati vs New York City Prediction

Out of the two, the hosts arrive into this fixture in healthier fashion, losing only one game in their last five, although this defeat was an unlucky one, being the slightly better side. On home soil, they have produced three consecutive MLS wins, and have only failed to score more than one goal on one occasion. 

So, they have demonstrated that they are a very well-structured home team, one that will be threatening for New York City, who is traveling to Ohio in a rough spell, going three losses out of three with multiple goals shipped in each. Overall, we should expect an overriding performance from the boys in orange and blue. 

Our FC Cincinnati vs New York City FC Pick: FC Cincinnati to Win and Over 1.5 Goals.
