Cincinnati vs Toronto Preview
Thursday, June 22nd, 00:30 (UK)
Cincinnati continue to lead the way in the MLS. They are five points clear of Nashville in the overall table having played a game less than their closest rivals. Few had them as favourites at the start of the season but they have shot up in the betting as they’ve piled up the wins.
Toronto are sitting in 25th. They are yet to win an away match this season so the signs are ominous as they head to Cincinnati to take on the league leaders. The Canadian side are on the backfoot but they will be looking to turn their fortunes around as the season progresses.
Cincinnati vs Toronto Best Bet
Cincinnati have been formidable this season. They have lost just one of their 20 matches in all competitions and are currently enjoying a 12 match unbeaten run but had to settle for a draw in their last match against Vancouver. During that run, they are scoring an average of 1.86 goals per game and conceding just 0.67.
Toronto have failed to score in four of their away matches. The team have earned just four points from eight away matches in the MLS. They were beaten 2-0 at this ground last season so they won’t harbour much hope of beating a much improved Cincinnati.
- Selection: Cincinnati Asian Handicap -0.5, -1
- Best Odds: 1.85 (bet365)
- Stakes: 7/10

Montreal vs Nashville Preview
Thursday, June 22nd, 00:30 (UK)
Montreal are 13 points behind their opponents at this stage of the season. They have really struggled for consistency and have settled in 16th place. However, they have shown they are a capable side at the Saputo Stadium in recent weeks so home advantage could be crucial here.
Nashville are 2nd in the table and have won eight of their last 10 matches in all competitions They have the best goal difference in the MLS but they need to maintain their good form in order to close the gap at the top; with Cincinnati seemingly unstoppable at the moment.
Montreal vs Nashville Best Bet
Montreal have won five of their last six matches at home. They have been in fine scoring form in front of their own fans. They are averaging 1.67 goals per game at home and have only failed to score in one of those matches.
Nashville are one of the strongest teams in the league at this stage. However, they have struggled to keep clean sheets in their recent matches on the road. Both teams have scored in their last five away matches. There have been three goals scored in four of those matches.
- Selection: Both Teams To Score & Over 2.5 Goals In The Match
- Best Odds: 2.00 (bet365)
- Stakes: 7/10

Orlando City vs Philadelphia Union Preview
Thursday, June 22nd, 00:30 (UK)
Orlando made a strong start to the season but they have regressed in recent matches. They have won just four of their last 10 matches in all competitions. This run has seen them slump to 11th in the overall table and they will have their work cut in this one.
Philadelphia are 4th and are competing for a spot in the play-offs. They are unbeaten in their last eight matches. Jim Curtin’s team have been electric going forward and they have carried that attacking form into their away matches.
Orlando City vs Philadelphia Union Best Bet
Orlando’s home form has been incredibly poor. They are averaging 0.9 goals per game across their last 10 home matches. The team have only managed to win two of those fixtures. They were also beaten the last time they hosted Philadelphia at this ground.
Philadelphia have won their last four matches; scoring 10 goals in the process. They hammered Montreal 3-0 in their last game. They beat New York City FC 3-1 in their last away game. The team have also won their last three league away matches so the price on offer is generous here.
- Selection: Philadelphia To Win
- Best Odds: 2.91 (Unibet)
- Stakes: 6/10
