FC Cincinnati vs DC United — Tips & Analysis

Over 3.25: Cincinnati's home games are rarely quiet, and that is the case for goals here. 15 of Cincinnati's last 19 games had 3 or more goals, and their games average more than 4 goals in total. They score more than 2 goals a game at TQL Stadium. The other side of their game is just as clear. Cincinnati let in more than 2 goals a game and have lost two of their last three at home, 0-2 to Columbus and 2-3 to New England. They are short at the back too, with Jose Martinez out and Miles Robinson not expected to play. DC United have not won any of their last seven away games, 0 wins, 4 ties and 3 losses. They let in more than 2 goals a game on the road and were beaten 1-4 at Orlando and 0-4 at Inter Miami. 13 of DC's last 18 games had 3 or more goals, so both sides bring open games with them. Here is the honest part. Our read is a 2-1 Cincinnati win, and this needs a fourth goal. The 14 past meetings have averaged under 3 goals, and DC lead that record 6-4. A midweek game with Cincinnati on 3 days' rest could also turn slow and careful. Two shaky back lines still point the same way, so we are on the busier game.
