By contrast, Cincinnati have had an underwhelming start to the MLS season, and they currently sit 21st with the record of two wins, two draws and four losses. With 19 goals conceded in those eight matches, they have been one of the leakiest defensive units, which doesn’t bode well for them here. However, BTTS has landed in each of their last five straight matches, which highlights the threat they can pose going forward. In fact, they recently played out a six-goal thriller against Chicago Fire, with the goals shared three apiece.
New York City’s start has been a bit more promising, and they sit 15th in the standings, but they come into this clash having failed to win any of their last four league matches. BTTS landed in three of those games, and once again, chances should be available at both ends of the field.
