Tip and bets

1.88Cincinnati's Victory

The home team has found their rhythm, going unbeaten for four matches. Meanwhile, the visitors haven't secured a win in regulation for some time now and recently played in the US Cup final on September 26, where they endured a lengthy 120 minutes on the pitch. It's unlikely that the California team will fully recover in time, so we believe the well-rested players from Cincinnati will clinch the victory.

Our prediction is a Cincinnati win at 1.88
