Toronto FC will seek their first win of the 2025 Major League Soccer season when they travel to TQL Stadium to take on FC Cincinnati on Saturday. Both teams are looking to recover from tough losses last weekend, as Cincinnati suffered a 4-1 defeat to the Philadelphia Union, while Toronto fell 4-2 to Orlando City.
FC Cincinnati has had a mixed start to their campaign, securing one win and one loss in their first two league games. They have managed to score twice while conceding four goals, placing them 17th in the early MLS standings. However, their recent 1-1 draw against UANL Tigres in the CONCACAF Champions Cup showcased their resilience against strong opposition. With a strong tactical emphasis on offensive play and possession, Cincinnati has proven to be a formidable force at home, where they have recorded a win in their only match so far this season.
Toronto FC, on the other hand, has struggled to find stability under head coach Robin Fraser. They currently sit at the bottom of the table with just one point from their opening two games, having conceded six goals while scoring four. Their defensive vulnerabilities were exposed in their most recent match against Orlando City, where they allowed four goals. Across all competitions, the Reds have gone winless in their last five outings, managing only two draws alongside three defeats. Their away form has also been poor, with just one draw and two losses in their last three road matches.

Our FC Cincinnati vs Toronto FC Prediction
Historically, Cincinnati has dominated this matchup, winning four of their last five meetings against Toronto. Their most recent clash ended in a thrilling 4-3 victory for Cincinnati, adding to their confidence heading into this encounter. Additionally, Cincinnati's home advantage could prove crucial, as they have been strong at TQL Stadium and will look to capitalize on Toronto's struggles.
Both teams enter this game with injury concerns. Cincinnati was without key players such as Sergio Santos, Luca Orellano, Gerardo Valenzuela, Alec Kann, Nick Hagglund, and Matt Miazga in their previous match, and their availability remains uncertain. Toronto also dealt with absences last week, with Raoul Petretta and Derrick Etienne missing out due to lower-body injuries. Their potential absence could further hinder the team’s ability to turn things around.
As the two sides battle for early-season points, Cincinnati appears better positioned to secure a positive result. Given their strong home record and historical advantage over Toronto, they are favorites to claim victory in what promises to be an intriguing matchup. However, Toronto will be desperate to prove their resilience and claim their first win of the campaign. Our prediction for FC Cincinnati vs. Toronto FC: Cincinnati to win.
