FC Cincinnati vs Toronto FC Preview and Team News
FC Cincinnati Team News
FC Cincinnati take on Toronto FC in a match in the Major League Soccer on Saturday with the hope of picking up all the points on offer and causing immense distress to their opponents.
Cincinnati, who have scored 7 goals in their last 5 matches, will be on the lookout for more in order to elevate themselves in the league table. They currently sit in eighth position of the standings, and will want to move upwards as the season progresses.

Alec Kann, however, has been ruled out with a hip injury in this game whereas Gerardo Valenzuela and Luca Orellano have suffered leg injuries.
Matt Miazga and Nick Hagglund are also not available for selection in this game, which gives Cincinnati a rather bare look to their side. Star player Lukas Engel, nonetheless, is ranked 3rd in big chances created in the competition (3), and will pose a threat in this game as well.
FC Cincinnati predicted lineup vs Toronto FC (5-3-2): Celentano; Engel, Flores, Robinson, Hadebe, Yedlin; Bucha, Nwobodo, Evander; Denkey, Kubo.
Toronto FC Team News
Toronto FC, who are ranked five spots below Cincinnati in the 13th position of the league table, know that it will not be easy for them to come away from home.
However, the fact that they can retain possession of the ball often gives them the confidence to push forward in the final third, along with utilising space on the wings.
Meanwhile, injuries to Derrick Etienne, Raoul Petretta and Richie Laryea will hamper Toronto in this game, in turn, forcing the others in the reserves to step up and deliver when put under pressure.

If one looks on the bright side, Toronto have scored 6 goals in their last 5 matches, but unfortunately, they have not been able to win a match in their last 8 attempts.
This poor run of form will worry the visitors in this game, but they will do their best to overcome it, mainly by maintaining their shape while in possession and regrouping quickly when without it.
Toronto FC predicted lineup vs Cincinnati (4-4-2): Johnson; Wingo, Long, Rosted, Pearlman; Flores, Osorio, Longstaff, Bernardeschi; Corbeanu, Brynhildsen.
FC Cincinnati vs Toronto FC Prediction
- Pick: FC Cincinnati to win
- Odds: -154 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: FC Cincinnati 1-2 Toronto FC
Cincinnati are the favourites to win this game, and we expect them to do so. Cincinnati haven’t lost to Toronto FC in their last 6 meetings (5W, 1D), which gives them the momentum to push forward in this encounter as well.
Cincinnati have also remained unbeaten against Toronto at home in their last four matches, which allows them the luxury to think that if they do the basics right in this game, they might be able to pick up all the points on offer.
FC Cincinnati vs Toronto FC Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2.5 goals
- Odds: -156 (20Bet)
An interesting fact is that Toronto have been awarded the most penalties this season (1), and they will be keen on utilising their street-smart nature inside the box in this game as well.
However, Cincinnati’s defenders are far too sharp to allow their opponents to coast to such comfortable pastures as and when they want. Yet, in this game, we expect to see a total of over 2.5 goals, with most of them coming from the visiting side.
Both these teams have got on the scoresheet at least once in four out of their last five matches, with Toronto bagging two goals each in their last two encounters.
