Cincinnati is a new team to the US soccer tribune and one that has yet to make a name for itself.
Top Austin vs Cincinnati Betting Lines & Analysis
The two clubs have yet to play the first game between them this Sunday and we believe that the home side has enough class to get the 3 points. Use BetMGM for double-checking the above-mentioned odds. They were true at the time of writing but are subject to change.
Austin to Win
At the end of the last season, Cincinnati finished in the last position in the Eastern Conference of the MLS while Austin finished semi-last in the Eastern Conference. It is a battle of the weaker teams at the start of the season. We expect the travel distance to play a role and Cincinnati to lose the game with a 1:0 result.
Over 2.5 Goals
Cincinnati had the worst defense in the Eastern Conference of the MLS last season. The team conceded a total of 74 goals in 34 games. Meanwhile, Austin had one of the worst defenses in the Western Conference as well. The team allowed 56 goals in 34 games.
Team Insight
The two squads are looking refreshed and ready for renewing the battle in the MLS
Austin’s lineup
The only injury issue for the home side is a minor one – Danny Hoesen will be unavailable in attack but Maximiliano Urruti is more than capable of doing the job well as he is expected to be the key player in attack for the team during this season. We believe the two key players for Austin will be Diego Fagundez (with 7 goals last season) and the most expensive player for the team – Sebastian Driussi (with 5 goals last season).
Cincinnati’s lineup
John Nelson will miss the game due to injury but the left-back position is secured as Ronald Matarrita is expected to start in that position. Cincinnati didn’t lose in the pre-season friendlies but the team also didn’t record a single clean sheet. We believe Kenneth Vermeer will concede at least 1 goal in the game against Austin.

Battle of the underdogs
One team finished last in the Western Conference and the other semi-last in the Eastern Conference. Two horrible defenses going up against each other for the 3 points. Both clubs had a decent pre-season and we expect them to not disappoint in terms of goals. Our soccer experts predict a very difficult 1:0 victory for the home side and disappointment for Cincinnati.
