Having got the job done on home soil during the week, winning in dramatic fashion thanks to a late goal from the reliable Evander, Pat Noonan's men will be looking to kick on. A home game against a weak Seattle Sounders team presents FC Cincinnati with the perfect opportunity to do just that. The hosts can push themselves further into the all-important postseason spots with another win. 

Looking at this game through a betting lens, 'Evander to Score' is the most appealing angle. Not too many players warrant such short odds to find the net, but Evander is definitely one of them. Even at odds of +135, you could argue that the Brazilian is a little generously priced, such has been the level of form that Cincinnati's main man has delivered in recent times. After re-finding his scoring touch last time out, he comes into this home game feeling confident, and a confident Evander is never someone to dismiss.

FC Cincinnati - Seattle Sounders Key Points

  1. Evander comes into this game off the back of scoring during the week.
  2. No Cincinnati player has scored more MLS goals this season than Evander.
  3. Right now, Evander is averaging 0.67 goals per 90 minutes in Major League Soccer.
  4. In all competitions, Evander has scored in four of his last five home appearances.

Our FC Cincinnati vs Seattle Sounders Prediction

Home is absolutely where the heart is for Evander, who has now scored in four of his last five appearances at TQL Stadium. Given that level of form, the Brazilian is worth betting on to score against a Seattle Sounders team that has been all over the place on the road.

When they last ventured away from the comforts of Lumen Field, Brian Schmetzer's men conceded three goals, which suggests that the hosts can do plenty of damage here. At the front of the queue to dish out that damage will be Evander, who is easily one of Major League Soccer's most dangerous offensive operators at present. Really, he could (and probably should) be priced much closer to +110, so odds of +135 appeal. 

Our Cincinnati vs Seattle Sounders Pick: Evander to Score.
