Cincinnati 2 vs Crown Legacy tips and predictions

Crown Legacy too short in MLS Next Pro encounter

It's been hypothesised by a few pundits that one of these sides has a potential weakness at the back. If it materialises it could be exploited here. If you like end-to-end football, you'll be buzzing when this delivers the goals it's likely to. But that doesn't mean there's anything exciting about the prices.

Cincinnati 2 are currently in fifth place as they get ready to host tenth place Crown Legacy.

For sure the visitors are the superior side but that skinny price is hard to justify.

A look at the respective results for each side; the hosts have secured 3 wins from 4 matches. With differing fortunes the travelling side has been defeated in 4 of their last 8 matches, away and at home. That doesn't look like the recent record of a side that would be such a short price.

Cincinnati 2 need to go back to their best form. This home team is playing some lovely football and they're making new fans in the process. They scored two or more goals in 4 of their recent 5 matches.

Crown Legacy looked shaky under pressure in their recent games. They've conceded at least once in all of their last 8 matches. But their problems don't seem to be exclusively in the first-third of their formation. In front of goal the visitors have sometimes been quite poor. They've been goalless in 4 of their last 8 matches.

It's not a hugely confident prediction and the hosts may feel they've exceeded expectations if they end up sharing the spoils. The sportsbooks expect both sides to get in on the act despite the favouritism for Crown Legacy. However the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the best bet from that market.
