Point Spread: 0.25 | -111.00 Orlando City SC (Away)
Result: Loss
EASTERN CONFERENCE CLASH

Orlando City travel to Cincy off a 2-1 victory against the Houston Dynamo last Saturday, which keeps them in the Top 5 of the conference. FC Cincinnati currently sit in the middle of the Eastern standings, but a win could put them into the top 5 before the weekend games.

Cincy has play very competitive versus top seeds the past 3 weeks (Draw vs Philly / 3-4 loss to Montreal / 3-2 loss to New England) with their aggressive and pressing offensive playstyle. They're allowing an average of 1.7 goals per match (4 of the last 5 games have gone over 2.5 total goals) and they score an average of 1.6 goals per match and 1.8 goals in the last 5 matches.

Orlando are allowing an averaging 1.4 goals per match this season (3 of the last 5 matches have gone over 2.5 goals) and are scoring an average of 1.3 goals per match (Orlando has scored in their 7 straight MLS matches AND 7 straight MLS Away matches)

Last time these teams met in March, it ended 2-1 in a win for Cincinnati in Orlando's stadium. This match is expected to be fireworks (Both Teams to score is -195) and I am in total agreeance with Both Teams To Score and Over 2.5 Goals in this rematch.

PREMIUM PLAY: I'm taking the revenge angle and siding with Orlando +0.25 @ (-121), because they've only lost 1 away game in the MLS this season (4-1 loss to a GOOD Montreal team) and its a reasonable thought that this match could end in a high scoring 2-2 tie.
