Betting on FC Cincinnati
FC Cincinnati is making a strong case as one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference after its first 11 matches. Recording seven wins, three draws, and only one loss, this team has the lowest number of defeats so far.
Prior to this match, the team defeated CF Montreal 3-0 to extend its undefeated streak in MLS to four matches and six in all competitions, with five wins and one draw. FC Cincinnati currently is the best home team in the region, having won all seven of its matches, although this favorable streak extends to eight victories in all competitions.
Probable lineup (3-4-1-2): Roman Celentano; Nick Hagglund, Matthew Miazga, Yerson Mosquera; Alvas Powell, Obinna Nwobodo, Júnior Moreno, Álvaro Barreal; Luciano Acosta; Sergio Santos, Brandon Vázquez.
Betting on Columbus Crew SC
Columbus Crew has dropped important points in the last month by failing to win in four games, recording two draws and an equal number of defeats. The team put an end to that problem by defeating the LA Galaxy in midweek with a 2-0 score, and that could change the team’s outlook.
It has played five away matches and has managed to win only once, also recording one draw and three losses. In that period, the team only kept one clean sheet, which came occurred in the game it won. To make matters worse, the visiting team has won just one of its in-state rival’s past five home matches, and that win came in July 2020.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Patrick Schulte; Steven Moreira, Philip Quinton, Exon Gustavo Vallecilla; Mohamed Farsi, Aidan Morris, Darlington Nagbe, Yaw Yeboah; Alexandru Matan, Jacen Russell-Rowe, Cucho Hernandez.
JefeBet Prediction
Regardless of how these games go in their midweek commitments, FC Cincinnati will continue to have better numbers in the overall standings, and being home will place them as the clear favorite. Taking into account that five of the last nine meetings of the home team at its home ground have gone Under (2.5), at JefeBet we believe that this match will have the same result.
The share of DraftKings for the Under (2.5) is +100, if you guess right you will get back the total of your bet and you will get $100 more.
Prediction: FC Cincinnati Moneyline and Under (CIN 1-0 COL)
