How are both teams coming into this?
FC Cincinnati currently occupy third place in the MLS standings with 29 points from 15 matches. At home, Pat Noonan’s side remain unbeaten (5 wins, 1 draw) and have scored 21 goals while conceding 19 overall. Their recent form includes notable attacking displays, such as the 3-3 draw with FC Dallas, but defensive lapses have occasionally crept in.
On the flip side, D.C. United sit 25th with just 14 points from 15 games. Away from home they have managed only one win, alongside two draws and four defeats, conceding 27 goals in total. Under coach Troy Lesesne, United have tried to adopt a more solid defensive approach, yet their structure has often failed to hold up under pressure.
Our forecast
Given Cincinnati’s dominant home form and D.C. United’s ongoing struggles, our main prediction is a home victory for FC Cincinnati. The odds strongly favor the hosts, who have beaten United in three of their last five meetings, including a 1-0 win in the most recent head-to-head.
In addition, both teams find the net frequently—Cincinnati in attack and United even in defeat—so we also like the look of Both Teams to Score: Yes. This double chance of goals at both ends adds an exciting layer to the match and offers attractive returns for risk-takers.
