FC Cincinnati vs. LAFC Preview

Cinci didn’t have any games during midweek, and they are ready to press hard right from the start. They must do that because Columbus has the same points as them but with a game in hand. This means that FC might slip down to third place in the East.

Cincinnati didn’t lose in the previous four events, posting two wins and two losses. All but one event during this span saw over 2.5 goals, and both teams scored.

On the other hand, LAFC finally broke its disastrous stretch, which saw them without a win for more than three weeks. They had three defeats and two losses throughout the span, falling down in the MLS West standings.

Beating Sporting Kansas City in the US Open Cup is a big deal, and especially winning a trophy in the current situation. Things haven’t been great for the black and gold, with them failing to protect its net in the previous four events, which was the way all saw both teams netting.

FC Cincinnati vs. LAFC Predictions

This is a game between two sides who play open and aggressive football with plenty of chances. Our MLS pick is for both teams to score over 2.5 hits.
