Toronto will be hoping a return home can start another unbeaten run when they host Cincinnati.
Bob Bradley’s side suffered their first defeat in five matches on Sunday, losing to New York City, but are in impressive form at the BMO Field.
A home win at 1.87 is our opening Toronto vs Cincinnati prediction.
Toronto FC Odds
Toronto missed the chance to move into the top three in the Eastern Conference after surrendering a 2-0 lead in the Big Apple.
Jesus Jimenez’s brace inside the opening 27 minutes, taking his tally to six goals in eight games this season, looked to be sweeping Toronto to a fourth win in five outings.
But the reigning MLS Cup champions responded in style and moved 5-2 up with 15 minutes remaining, with two late goals nothing more than a consolation for Bradley’s team.
On his side’s defending, Bradley told Toronto’s official website: “It’s a collective thing, we work hard at it. I’ve seen progress from all the players.
“We have had days when we have played both three and four at the back, and feel those are ways we can still be flexible.
“We understand that to be a complete team we also need to have more games where we give less away.”
Despite shipping five in their last outing, Toronto should still be in confident mood returning to home soil, having won their last three matches there.
They secured 2-1 victories over DC United, New York City and Philadelphia Union and another win by that scoreline is 8.25 in the Toronto vs Cincinnati odds.
FC Cincinnati Odds
Cincinnati sit bottom of the table with just two wins from eight games, having not won in their last four.
Despite taking the lead through Luciano Costa on the stroke of half-time, they conceded twice in the second half to lose 2-1 at home to Los Angeles FC on Sunday.
They have struggled on their travels, losing two of their four matches, and failing to score in three of those.
But Cincinnati should be buoyed by Toronto’s leaky defence.
Bradley’s side have let in 17 goals in eight matches, the joint highest in the Eastern Conference with Montreal, and have conceded in every game.
That should give the visitors hope of ending their goal drought on the road, so a home win with both teams scoring at 3.30 completes our Toronto vs Cincinnati betting tips.
