Betting On FC Cincinnati After a powerful performance in game one, Cincinnati showed up in Queens last week and were outplayed in the park for most of the match. That was their first loss in the open round of the playoffs. That makes this match a must-win for the club. Cincinnati ended at two-match MLS skid in game of this series, but they have not won at home since May. Counting the playoffs, the hosts won 15 league meetings this year by one goal, this includes a 1-0 victory in the opening game.

They have never been eliminiated in the opening round of the playoffs, delivering 3 clean sheets in their four-post season home matches.  Betting On New York City  New York City lived to fight again, winning the midfield contest at home last week. This gave them the opportunity to make the second round of the playoffs for the second time in three campaigns. That victory also snapped their two-match MLS losing run for them in their first post-season win since the 2022 Eastern Conference semi-finals (3-1 over CF Montreal). New York have not been knocked out from the opening round of the playoffs since their shootout loss against Orlando City (6-5) in 2020 after that game in a 1-1 draw. They have come out victors in five of their last seven post-season affairs on the road, with the last one happening in Montreal in 2022.  MatchPlug Prediction For Cincinnati VS New York City  These clubs are great in football possession and attack a lot, but New York City has more experienced midfield players which will give them an edge over Cincinnati.  Final Prediction: New York City FC Moneyline.
