FC Cincinnati vs New York City Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer
by Simon Day in Major League Soccer Picks
FC Cincinnati begin their MLS Playoff campaign with a home tie against New York City on Sunday. The hosts finished the regular season in third place in the Eastern Conference table, good enough to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions Cup. However, their form fell away in the latter part of the campaign and they finished the season losing four of their final six games. In contrast, New York finished the season strongly, despite a last day defeat to Montreal. The side from the Big Apple won three of their final four games to secure their place in the first round of the Playoffs and avoid a tricky Wild Card tie. Key to that run was the form of Costa Rican forward Adrián Martinez, who netted in each of those victories, taking his tally for the season up to 16.

Our FC Cincinnati vs New York City Prediction
Cincinnati are big favorites in this one, but we can smell an upset. Despite finishing the season nine points behind Cincinnati, New York arguably come into the game in better form. Martinez is one of the hottest strikers in the league, and some of NYC's recent displays suggest they have the tools to make a deep playoff run. Any game in Cincinnati is tough, but we think NYC will have enough firepower to get the job done. Our prediction for FC Cincinnati vs New York City FC is: New York City to win and both teams to score, +475 at FanDuel.
