Toronto FC vs Cincinnati FC Prediction: Cincinnati is the blue whale

Toronto FC are up against one of the best teams in the MLS this season and there's no doubt Toronto would need to be at their very best to get a good result. Toronto takes on Cincinnati at the BMO Field in their first league meeting this season. Toronto were relieved to get a win last week after back-to-back defeats in prior league games. While Cincinnati have been flawless in their last 5 league games, winning all 5 games in a row. 

Toronto are currently 5th on the eastern conference table with 22 points while Cincinnati are 2nd with 30 points.

Toronto are going head-to-head against Cincinnati in this game. If past records are considered, Toronto are surely taking the underdogs position against a club such as Cincinnati, but they are hoping to prove the doubters wrong in this clash. Toronto's last win was their 3rd win in the last 5 league games, while the remaining 2 ended in a loss. 

Toronto's win over Montreal last week was their biggest win so far this season as the game ended 5-1 at full time. Matthew Longstaff (6’), Federico Bernardeschi (12’, 58’ & 59’) and Prince-Osei Owusu (19’) were all on the scoresheet to give Toronto a comfortable win. Montreal only managed to get a goal in the 57’ minute, but Toronto were already 5 goals up at the time. According to stats, Toronto had 51% possession, 10 shots on target and 6 corner kicks.

Cincinnati are a confident team at the moment and it's hard to see them capitulating in the coming game. Their records have been perfect in the last 6 games as they had 6 straight wins in those 6 games. Cincinnati are looking comfortable ahead of the upcoming game against Toronto. 

Cincinnati were on top of their game against St. Louis City SC last weekend and the result was a 3-1 win for Cincinnati in the end. Luciano Acosta got the first goal from the penalty spot in the 26’ minute and then Yuya Kubo had the second in the 49’ minute. St Louis pulled one goal back in the 54’ minute through an own goal, but Sergio Santos was once again on target for Cincinnati at the 80’ minute. The game ended after that and Cincinnati won 3-1. According to stats, Cincinnati had 55% possession, 8 shots on target and 5 corner kicks.
