Our prediction is that Orlando City will not lose at odds of 1.93
Bet on Total Goals
In the last nine head-to-head matches, neither team has scored more than three goals. We don't expect a breakthrough today that would lead to a high-scoring game.
Our second bet is under 3.5 total goals with odds of 1.57
First Half Bet
In the last five matches, Cincinnati has managed to win in the first half only once. We believe the visitors will avoid defeat during this period and at least secure a draw.
