Cincinnati are becoming a hard team to beat ahead of tonight’s match with Vancouver Whitecaps.
Pat Noonan’s side have lost only two of their last 11 matches, drawing four of their previous five, while the Whitecaps’ away form has improved of late.
Another stalemate at 3.90 is our first FC Cincinnati vs Vancouver Whitecaps prediction.
FC Cincinnati Odds
After a four-match winning streak was ended by back-to-back defeats, Cincinnati have become somewhat of draw specialists.
They have held Philadelphia Union, New York City and New York Red Bulls – the top three in the Eastern Conference – and New England Revolution while also beating Orlando City.
They held on for a point with nine men against the Red Bulls on Sunday, after Brandon Vazquez’s opener was cancelled out by Lewis Morgan’s penalty.
Cincinnati have shown great character in the other aforementioned matches, coming from behind to claim a point on three occasions.
The hosts to score last again is 1.55 in the FC Cincinnati vs Vancouver Whitecaps odds.
Vancouver Whitecaps Odds
Vancouver suffered a setback on Saturday following a 3-1 home defeat to Minnesota, ending a six-match unbeaten streak in front of their own fans.
Lucas Cavallini’s fifth goal in seven games gave them the lead in the 66th minute, but United hit back with three goals in the final 19 minutes.
Vancouver, who beat Cincinnati in their only meeting to date in August 2019, are currently dealing with injury problems.
Boss Vanni Sartini told the club’s official website: “Let’s take three points tomorrow so nobody talks about injuries.
“I’m not religious, I don’t believe in curses. Soccer is a contact sport and if we want intensity in training, there’s always the risk that something can happen in training.
“I think we need to accept this risk because training would not be intense and we would not have a team that is not intense on the field.”
After six straight defeats on their travels, Vancouver have won two of their last three away outings.
They have scored in six of those, while Cincinnati have conceded in seven of their nine home fixtures.
A 1-1 draw at 7.50 completes our FC Cincinnati vs Vancouver Whitecaps betting tips.
