FC Cincinnati vs Chicago Fire Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer

 by Bradley Gibbs in Major League Soccer Picks

After what can only be described as a shock defeat at the weekend, the FC Cincinnati boys will be back in action on Wednesday night, and they'll be looking to bounce back by beating an out-of-form Chicago Fire team. The visitors failed to score for the second game in a row on Saturday night, meaning that they're now without a win in two, while they've won just one of their last five. Going to TQL Stadium and getting a positive result off the back of such a run won't be easy, but they may enjoy playing on the break, so maybe we shouldn't be too surprised if they got something. After all, that's exactly what the Charlotte boys did at the weekend.

FC Cincinnati - Chicago Fire Key Points

  1. The hosts are without a clean sheet in six home games, conceding multiple goals in four of those six.
  2. Hugo Cuypers has scored an average of 0.42 goals per 90 minutes in MLS this term.
  3. Hugo Cuypers has now scored at least once in five of his last eight appearances for the Fire.
  4. In his last three games, Cuypers has registered eight shots.

Our FC Cincinnati vs Chicago Fire Prediction

It's more than reasonable to expect the hosts to bounce back here. Sure, they lost at the weekend, but they still looked strong and they were still dominant, so don't be surprised if they bounce back. At the same time, don't be surprised if they once again get caught out defensively. In the betting, I really like 'Hugo Cuypers to Score' at odds of +380 with BetMGM. The Belgium striker now has nine goals this season, scoring in five of his last eight, while he's looked hungry of late, shooting at every opportunity. 

At the end of the day, Cuypers is a real poacher of a striker. He relies on good movement and goal-scoring instinct, which means that he needs good service, but since we've seen the Fire thrive on the break at times, they ought to be capable of creating counter-offensive openings against a FC Cincinnati team that will push forward and leave gaps. If they can do that, then I really wouldn't bet against the Belgian grabbing another goal. Frankly, at odds of +380, Hugo Cuypers to Score is the bet to go for here.
