Tips for FC betting vs Cincinnati vs Galaxy
Cincinnati's debut season in MLS did not go according to plan, because the hosts on Sunday occupied the last place in the Eastern Conference table and even a win would not lift them above New England's closest rivals this weekend. LA Galaxy visitors will hope to keep pressure on local rivals and LAFC league leaders with victory on Sunday, but nine points separating both clubs and Galaxy have a lot of work to do.
A goal of stopping solitary time from Fink proved enough for Saint Louis to knock their MLS guests Cincinnati from the US Open Cup on Thursday. More than 4,000 were present at World Wide Technology Soccer Park to watch the chaotic trophy, when Cincinnati's poor form was transferred from the league to the US Open Cup. LA Galaxy were also eliminated at the same stage as the hosts on Sunday when they were hammered 4-0 by Portland Timbers at Providence Park. An own goal from Kitchen made the ball roll for Portland in the twenty-eighth minute and two further goals before the break made the tie win before the halfway point. The hosts added a fourth goal eight minutes from time to wrap up a convincing win against a few big-name LA Galaxy teams like Ibrahimovic.
There is no head to head record between the two teams with this being their first meeting, but the form and appearance of the two clubs over the past few months shows that the LA Galaxy will win and there are good opportunities we will see the scores of both teams and more than 2.5 goal. Cincinnati have lost five of their last six matches in all competitions, while LA Galaxy have won three of their last five league and cup matches. Cincinnati have only won one of their last twelve matches in MLS, while LA Galaxy have won their last two away games in MLS. Both teams scored and more than 2.5 goals were produced in four of Cincinnati's last six matches, and that is why we expect a 3-1 win for LA Galaxy on Sunday.
Cruz, Manneh and Mattocks all scored the highest together for the hosts with their respective league goals so far this season, while with eleven goals, Ibrahimovic led for LA Galaxy and almost had many MLS goals in his name as the entire Cincinnati team put together . We believe LA Galaxy will win in Cincinnati this weekend and have estimated the final score 3-1. The visitors fly high in the Western Region while their guests sit under the Eastern Conference table and only win one of their last twelve league matches.
