The new MLS season is already underway, and all the teams will take the field with the firm conviction of dethroning the Columbus Crew and lifting the championship trophy.
So far, the only match we have witnessed was Inter Miami’s excellent victory over Real Salt Lake by 2-0. With this, we see that the team of Messi, Suarez, Busquets, and Alba started on the right foot in their first full season.
Likewise, the rest of the teams will play their first game this weekend, so we expect excitement from start to finish.
One of the most interesting matches of this season’s opener will be between FC Cincinnati and Toronto.

Why Bet on the FC Cincinnati?
FC Cincinnati was one of the best teams in MLS last season, there is no doubt about that. The team dominated the Eastern Conference from start to finish and won the Supporter’s Shield with an excellent record of 20 wins, nine draws, and five losses.
Then, in the first round of playoffs (BO3), they faced the New York RBs and got a clean sweep (2-0) after beating them in the first game 3-0, while the second game ended 1-1, but, in penalty kicks, Cincinnati secured their victory 8-7. Then, in the conference semifinals, they defeated the Philadelphia Union by 1-0. Finally, they lost to eventual champions Columbus Crew 2-3 in the Conference Finals.
Now, in this new season, Cincinnati will want to match and surpass that performance, as they showed in their 5-2 wins over New England in the preseason and 2-0 against Cavalier in the CONCACAF Champions League.
Why Bet on the Toronto?
On the other hand, Toronto was the worst team in MLS last season, as they could only win four games in the whole campaign, and they were out very early from the fight for a playoff spot.
Toronto was last in the Eastern Conference with a terrible record of four wins, ten draws, and 20 losses, with only 22 points out of a possible 102. Now, the team has to leave the past behind to approach this new season in the best way to improve their performance.
In the preseason, Toronto drew 1-1 against Real Salt Lake and lost to LAFC 0-1. However, both matches were very balanced and close, so there was a different feeling in the air.
Final Betting Analysis:Â FC Cincinnati vs. Toronto
In the ten previous matches between these two teams, we have FC Cincinnati taking six wins, with Toronto winning on four occasions. However, the Orange & Blue have won the last three games against the Canadians by 2-0, 3-0, and 3-2.
At Gambyl Exchange, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors FC Cincinnati at 1.41, while Toronto starts at 6.95.
For this match, our prediction is a comfortable victory for the locals by 2-0.
Look for a win in FC Cincinnati’s Moneyline. If you put $100 on them at 1.41, you’ll see a $41.00 win with a total payout of $141.00.
