On Saturday evening, Cincinnati and Orlando will say goodbye to Major League Soccer for a while by facing each other at TQL Stadium, where both teams will be looking to go into the FIFA World Cup window off the back of a win. Last time out, the hosts failed to refind the winning thread, tying for the second time in three games, the other of which they lost rather disappointingly, conceding five goals at home to Inter Miami. Can they bounce back against an Orlando team that is on the up?
The visitors come into this fixture having won in pleasing fashion in the US Open Cup during the week, hammering Atlanta United by four goals to one. That win was at home, so the question is can they be as effective on the road? Well, they have won two of their last three away games in all competitions, which bodes well. From a betting point of view, it's worth betting on the visitors to score multiple goals. See below for why.

Our FC Cincinnati vs Orlando City SC Prediction
We know that the hosts can score goals, there's no doubting that, but can they keep them out? On recent evidence, the answer is a resounding no. Having shipped two or more goals in each of their last four games, doing so in three of their last four at home also, the hosts look weak at the back. The visitors have been capable of exploiting teams with similar defensive weaknesses in recent weeks, and with their offensive tails up, the men from Orlando should do lots of damage here.
Considering the defensive state of the hosts, combined with the offensive form of the visitors, 'Orlando to Score Over 1.5 Goals' really does look leniently priced at +100.
Our FC Cincinnati vs Orlando City Pick: Orlando City to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
