Bang-in-form high flyers FC Cincinnati are back in action on Saturday night. The team that currently sits second in the Eastern Conference will take on St. Louis City SC at TQL Stadium, and they'll be looking for a sixth straight win. After an excellent breakthrough season in Major League Soccer last time around, which saw them amazingly top the Western Conference, Saturday's visitors have struggled a little to live up to their own very high standards this time around. It is still early days, but Bradley Carnell's men find themselves down in ninth, though they remain a team that is tough to beat, that's for sure.

Our FC Cincinnati vs Saint Louis City SC Prediction

Make no mistake about it, this FC Cincinnati team means business, and with Luciano Acosta pulling the strings, they can be a match for anyone. However, you could argue that they're a little too reliant on the mercurial Argentine, while it must be said that they're not scoring with great regularity, which may worry their fans a little. There's only so long that you can go grinding out narrow, low-scoring wins. What's more, the visitors are tough to get the better of. Sure, they lost last time out, but if we scratch beneath the surface, they were more than a match for LAFC for most of the game, missing a penalty at a key moment, while they created just as much as their visitors on that occasion. Unbeaten in five prior to that, conceding only four goals during that time, Carnell's men can stand up to anybody, so it's a little surprising that they're so big in the betting ahead of this one. To be honest, the early odds look to be an overreaction to Cincinnati's bare form figures and St. Louis' loss last time out. Therefore, there's value to be had by betting on the away team to get a positive result here. Our Prediction: St. Louis City Draw No Bet.
