FC Cincinnati vs Toronto FC Prediction

Both sides come into this fixture in vastly different form. Toronto FC are currently on a run of six unbeaten games while the hosts have picked up just one win from their last 12 matches.

They will have to pull off one of the shocks of the season if they are to get anything against Toronto FC. Despite the absence of Jozy Altidore, the visitors should still have enough firepower to dispatch FC Cincinnati.

Prediction: FC Cincinnati 0-2 Toronto FC
