FC Cincinnati Preview

Pat Noonan's side was blanked for the second time in MLS this campaign, suffering a 1-0 road loss against New York City FC. Inside the 90-minute frame, the Orange Blue were outshot 19 to 15, while both combatants shared the ball possession at 50 percent. 

After going through a three-game stretch that saw Evander Ferreira strike home five goals, he has failed to hit the back of the net in the previous two outings. His first season in Cincinnati has been a success early on, tallying six goals and adding a helper. 

Co-sharing the team lead in the goal department in 2025, Kevin Denky’s two-game scoring streak came to a halt. After bagging two goals versus Sporting Kansas City, Denky failed to even register a shot last weekend. The Togolese should have a bounce-back match this weekend with his league average of 2.48 shots taken per 90.

Austin FC Preview

Since the calendar flipped to April, it has been a struggle for Nico Estévez’s men. The Verde and Black have only secured one win in their previous five matches, failing to score in consecutive matches. Their latest hitch saw them get trounced on their home turf, losing 3-0 to Minnesota United. 

For his standards, it’s been a subpar opening 11 appearances for Brandon Vazquez in an Austin FC kit. The striker came back to MLS after spending a year in Liga MX with C.F. Monterrey. The 26-year-old was formerly employed by Atlanta United and the squad he’s facing this weekend. The American international will look to get revenge, adding to his season total of two on Saturday. 

Through 11 league matches, Owen Wolff has already tied his career high in assists with three. The 20-year-old prospect has flourished this campaign with his talented passing skills while he is patrolling the middle of the park as a central midfielder.

FC Cincinnati vs. Austin FC - My Pick

• FC Cincinnati vs. Austin FC pick: FC Cincinnati moneyline 3-way (-120) at bet365

Checking into this affair, we feel this should be a reasonable recovery situation for the hosts coming off a loss last weekend. In five home league games, the Orange and Blue have won on four occasions. The visitors are currently sliding down the table in the west, with key injuries to Pereira and Desler, who are principal players in their position; this puts the away side at a disadvantage. Austin FC are also participating in the U.S. Open Cup play, with a fixture on May 7th. With the extra strain, Cincinnati will be the more rested side.
