Toronto FC vs FC Cincinnati Preview and Team News

Toronto FC Team News

Toronto triumphed 2-0 over D.C. United last time out in the MLS. This was Toronto’s second win of the season and showed some progress in their bid to return to form. The win over DC United followed a 0-2 home defeat against New England. 

Crucially for Toronto, they kept a morale-boosting clean sheet, which highlighted their potential in bolstering their performances and dynamism as they fight to dig themselves out of the horrible start they have had to the 2025 MLS season.

Toronto are still sitting 13th in the Eastern Conference with just 10 points. In 12 rounds of fixtures, they have managed 10 goals while conceding 16 times. They still have a long way to go before they can regain their form.  

On the injury front, defender Nicksoen Gomis underwent successful surgery to repair his left Achilles tendon on May 6, which means he is unavailable for selection. Also missing are Markus Cimermancic, Deandre Kerr, Richie Laryea, Jonathan Osorio, and Henry Wingo.

Toronto FC predicted lineup vs FC Cincinnati (4-2-3-1): Johnson; Thompson, Long, Rosted, Petretta; Flores, Coello; Bernardeschi, Insigne, Corbeanu; Brynhildsen.

FC Cincinnati Team News

Cincinnati are the in-form team of the Eastern Conference. They lead the table with 25 points after 12 rounds of matches. They have 8 wins, 1 draw, and 3 defeats in this run. They have notched 17 goals and conceded 14 times in the process.

However, Cincinnati’s tally of 17 goals scored is the lowest in the top 8 teams of the Eastern Conference. This shows that they have room to improve in sharpening their attack and getting some fluency in the final third ahead of their trip to the BMO Field.

Last time out, Cincinnati were 2-1 winners at home to Austin in the MLS; this win allowed the hosts to return to winning ways after they lost the previous clash against New York City 1-0.

Cincinnati will get a boost in their bid to make it back-to-back wins in the MLS with the team news showing that only Obinna Nwobodo (leg) is the only fitness doubt. 

FC Cincinnati predicted lineup vs Toronto FC (5-3-2): Calentano; Orellano, Hagglund, Miazga, Robinson, Engel; Bucha, Evander, Kubo; Santo, Denkey

Toronto FC vs FC Cincinnati Prediction 

  • Pick: Draw
  • Odds: +236 (20Bet)
  • Score prediction: Toronto FC 1-1 FC Cincinnati

Toronto have shown a considerable defensive improvement. Although they have had a rough season, their clean sheet against D.C. United suggests they are tightening up at the back. 

Also crucially, Cincinnati have shown goal-scoring struggles. Their goals per-match ratio underscores Cincinnati’s underlying challenges in the final third,despite leading the Eastern Conference; this is likely to come into play in this match. Their attack lacks consistency, which could prevent them from dominating Toronto FC on Wednesday.

Toronto’s home advantage at the BMO Field will also come into play. This is especially the case with Cincinnati’s away record and recent form revealing some inconsistencies. Despite winning 2-1 against Austin, they lost 1-0 in the previous match against NYC FC.

My take is that this will be a evenly-contested match, with it likely to be a low-scoring outcome. Toronto could grab a goal at home, but Cincinnati’s stronger overall form suggests that they will find an equalizer, backing a draw.

Toronto FC vs FC Cincinnati Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: 1st Goal – Toronto
  • Odds: +118 (20Bet)

Toronto, playing in front of the BMO Field crowd, will likely make a fast start, aiming to capitalize on early momentum. 

Recent scoring patterns show that Toronto have gained some dynamism in their attack. They scored twice against D.C. United last time out, showing improved attacking efficiency.

Cincinnati’s defensive record shows that they have conceded 12 times, which underscores that their defensive phase is not tight, giving Toronto a chance of opening the scoring on Wednesday.

Toronto’s attacking players, such as Bernardeschi and Insigne, are gradually regaining their footing in creative and penetrative play, which will drive Toronto’s attacking threat and bolster their chances of opening the scoring.
