FC Cincinnati MLS Betting Odds
It’s not easy to be an expansion team, and FC Cincinnati showed us why last season. FC Cincinnati was the worst team in the MLS by a mile, finishing the season with just 24 points. They were 10 points behind the Vancouver Whitecaps (the second-worst team in the league), and they were last in the MLS in both goals scored and goals allowed. The good news for this team is that they have nowhere to go but up in 2020, but they are still a ways away from being competitive.

FC Cincinnati 2020 Preview
After a very disappointing 2019 campaign, FC Cincinnati decided to completely overhaul its roster. Midfielders Roland Lamah, Corben Bone, and Nazmi Albadawi didn’t have their options picked up by the club, and the biggest signings from 2019 all departed too. Victor Ulloa and Alvas Powell were both sent to expansion club Inter Miami, and Fanendo Adi and Derrick Etienne Jr. were both released.
FC Cincinnati did take care to bring back its best player from last year in Allan Cruz, and they made the Costa Rican midfielder a designated player. Cruz finished the year with seven goals in 22 matches, and he was so electric that three of those goals were named MLS Goal of the Week.
Kendall Watson is back to captain FC Cincinnati from the back line, and goalkeeper Przemyslaw Tyton was added from Deportivo La Coruna in the offseason. Cincinnati’s biggest signing was Japanese forward Yuya Kubo, and he is ready to make a splash in the MLS after a lackluster season at 1. FC Nurnberg in 2018-19.

Round of 16 |
FC Cincinnati could not follow in the footsteps of recent expansion teams like Atlanta United and Los Angeles FC. While Atlanta and LAFC had immediate success, FC Cincinnati was abysmal, finishing with a 6-22-6 record and a -44 goal differential in 2019.
It appeared that FC Cincinnati would at least have a decent inaugural campaign after a promising start. Despite a murderer’s row in their first three games with tilts against the Seattle Sounders, Atlanta United, and the Portland Timbers, Cincy overcame the odds by playing Atlanta United to a draw and beating Portland in their home opener. They were 2-2-2 in their first six matches, but the wheels came off after that hot start.
Cincy failed to score a goal in its next five games, and this team went 3-19-1 in its next 22 games. The club was finally able to stop that skid at the end of the year with results in four of its last five games, giving fans hope for 2020.
