FC Dallas vs FC Cincinnati tips and predictions

FC Dallas can resist FC Cincinnati challenge

When FC Dallas host FC Cincinnati it should be an evenly contested affair with reasons to believe in all outcomes being possible. The pick is to get with the home team but this might look like a frankly foolish prediction by full-time.

Looking at the teams' results ahead of this match, the hosts have registered 5 home wins from their last 6 games. Having lesser fortunes than expected, the visitors have been defeated in 2 of their last 4 matches, home or away. That doesn't look like the recent record of a team that will fancy their chances.

These home players have enjoyed a purple patch at their own ground. FC Dallas scored at least once in 19 of their recent 20 home matches and that's been compounded at the back where they have kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 7 home games.

FC Cincinnati haven't kept a clean sheet for a while. They've conceded two or more goals in all of their last 5 matches. This match represents a good test of their bouncebackability.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the quickest out of the blocks. The sportsbooks expect goals at both ends of the park as they can both be efficient in front of goal. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks more tempting for this encounter.
