FC Cincinnati vs New York City tips and predictions

New York City price not very exciting

Conventional wisdom says that when these sides meet they are bound to produce some goals.

A result is well within FC Cincinnati's capabilities if they can push the envelope here.

FC Cincinnati will take encouragement from some of New York City's reverses in their recent results. The visitors' wheels are coming off on the road. They've lost their last 3 away matches. This doesn't look like the recent record of a side that deserve to be as short as this.

The Orange and Blue will need to continue their form for this. The hosts have been building up a head of steam in previous displays. They have scored two or more goals in 2 of their recent 4 matches and that quality has been shown all over the field. In defence they've conceded no more than once in all of their last 6 home games.

New York City have actually conceded two or more goals in all of their last 3 matches. And their problems aren't exclusive to their defensive line. At times, the visitors have stuttered to put away their chances. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 3 away matches.

So what will actually give this home squad confidence to get the job done? A likely key to victory is their decent attacking performances. It could make the difference for them between a perfectly respectable loss and humiliation.

Most observers believe that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for New York City. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that seems the better option this time around. And for fans of the goal line, it's under 2.5 goals that's the best option given the current odds.
