Game Preview

FC Cincinnati were undeniably one of the standout teams throughout the regular season in the MLS. However, despite that, they have been overlooked by many in terms of the leading challenges for the MLS Cup in 2025. Cincinnati booked their spot in the semi-finals after keeping their nerve in a tricky First Round series against the Columbus Crew.

A sign of their character was visible in Game Three of the series, as they came back from a goal down in the final half an hour to overcome the Crew. Their home form has been a major strength throughout the season, winning eleven of their 19 matches. Defensively, they have excelled, conceding just 1.05 goals per game.

Inter Miami continue to be among the leading chances according to the outright odds. However, they didn’t have things all their own way in the opening round series against Nashville. Fortunately, Messi was at his best to steer them into the final four, scoring twice in the 4-0 win over Nashville on Nov 8.

Inter’s Achilles heel throughout the season has been their record on the road. They have won just 44% of their matches, and they have conceded a high of 1.72 goals per game. It would also be a concern that they have kept clean sheets in just 17% of their fixtures on the road.
