FC Cincinnati vs New York Red Bulls Prediction & Picks - Major League Soccer
by Simon Day | in Major League Soccer Picks
The new MLS season kicks off this weekend and one of the biggest fixtures of the opening round sees last season's runners up, the New York Red Bulls, visit strongly fancied FC Cincinnati.
The Red Bulls came agonizingly close to glory last season, only to be narrowly denied by the Galaxy in the MLS Cup final. Since that defeat, the Red Bulls have made a few key signings, most notably striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting from Bayern Munich.
However, they will go into Saturday night's game as underdogs against a solid looking Cincinnati side that has been strengthened by the offseason arrivals of Kévin Denkey, Lukas Engel and Evander.

Our FC Cincinnati vs New York Red Bulls Prediction
This is a mouthwatering fixture to kick off the MLS season and both of these sides will fancy their chances of having a successful campaign. On paper, Cincy probably have the edge in terms of quality, but the Red Bulls have been very hard to beat in recent seasons. Opening games can often be cagey affairs and we certainly think that will be the case here.
Four of the last ten games between these sides have finished 1-1 and we would not be surprised to see that scoreline again on Saturday night.
Our prediction for FC Cincinnati vs New York Red Bulls is: Draw and under 2.5 goals.
