And we’re back! Our latest betting tips are here to bring you an extremely generous betting tip for you to take advantage of in the upcoming MLS fixture between FC Cincinnati & Columbus Crew. Friday evening’s game will see the 2020 MLS Champions travel to Cincinnati to take on an Eastern Conference rival.
Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about the two teams, including how well they’ve started the league this year. As well as all of that, we’ll discuss all of the stats, facts and numbers of previous encounters, before revealing our betting tip for the match. Read on to find out more!
It’s been a bit of a difficult start to the 2021 campaign for Cincinnati, who are currently sitting in 11th place in the Eastern Conference. As well as that, they’re five points off the closest playoff spot, but do have a game in hand on the teams in front - one of which is their next opponent. It was a rollercoaster of a start to the league, with a positive result in the opening game - a 2-2 draw away at Nashville SC. However, in their next two games, 5-0 and 3-0 losses to NYCFC and Orlando City respectively put Cincinnati on the backfoot. Since, the home side have only won three games out of ten so far.
Admittedly, it’s been a very average start to the new MLS season for 2020 champions, Columbus Crew. Despite being crowned victorious last year in the MLS Cup Final, Columbus drew their first two league games, both being stalemates and seeing a total of zero goals. Now, as it stands, Columbus find themselves level on points with three other teams in the Eastern Conference, but are outside a playoff position on goal difference. If the team is looking to replicate last year’s success, they will need to turn their performances up a notch and improve on their recent results.
It may come as no surprise to see that the last five head-to-head matches favours Columbus Crew overall. Columbus have won three of the last five, drawing one, whilst the latest game between the two concluded with a 2-1 win for FC Cincinnati. With that said, the wins for Columbus have all been convincing victories, scoring at least three goals in all of their wins. Despite the fact that Cincinnati won their most recent game - October last year - Columbus have since gone on to be crowned MLS Champions for last year. Therefore, we think it’s unlikely that the home side will be able to successfully beat Columbus in back-to-back games.
In this next section, you’ll find all of the details about the two teams, including current league form, and more information about their previous matches against each other. Here at CaptainGambling.com, we have put together all of this to curate a betting tip for the upcoming fixture.
After analysing all of the information heading into the game, we predict that Columbus Crew will come away from Cincinnati with all three points. As well as that, our betting tip includes a total of over 2.5 goals for both teams combined inside 90 minutes.
With a number of factors considered, we think that Columbus Crew will get the job done on the road, taking all three points with them. We think this is the perfect opportunity for the away team to bounce back and push on for that playoff spot - where Columbus expects to be. With that said, we think FC Cincinnati won’t go down without a fight, and will be wanting to try and cause an upset. As a result, we could see a high-scoring game!
With BetMGM - CaptainGambling.com’s leading sportsbook - you can find odds for Columbus to win & over 2.5 goals for both teams at +310! We think that’s rather appealing if you’re looking to place a wager on Friday’s game.
