Seattle Sounders vs FC Cincinnati tips and predictions

Closely contested MLS encounter offers up some home win value

The home team has been impressive in the final third. They'll want to show some flair. This surely won't be boring.

With home advantage, Seattle Sounders might just have the measure of things here.

The hosts are coming into the match having won 12 times in their last 18 home games.

This home squad is in some form on their own turf. Seattle Sounders have scored three or more goals in 9 of their recent 20 home matches while their defensive performances also deserve recognition. They are only conceding an average of 0.9 goals over their last 20 games at home.

FC Cincinnati have not been rock solid away from home. They've actually given up an average of 2.3 goals in their last 20 matches away from their own turf. And their problems aren't exclusive to the first-third of the field. In front of goal the visitors have been disappointing. They've scored one or less goals in 2 of their last 3 away matches.

Most previews are saying that both sides can get in on the act as they could be well matched. This preview is only interested in value though and the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the standout from that market. In the total goals market, it's more than two goals in this game given these prices.
