FC Cincinnati MLS Betting
At long last, there is real hope for FC Cincinnati. This club got off to the worst start of any MLS team in its first three seasons, continually finishing at the bottom of the table. However, FC Cincinnati had a strong 2022 campaign and will look to build off that in 2023. They have three stars in Luciano Acosta, Brenner, and Brandon Vazquez, and that will make this club one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference this season.

FC Cincinnati 2023 Preview
After their most successful season in franchise history by a mile, FC Cincinnati wants to run it back. They returned pretty much their entire team from last season, and they are looking to improve in defense with the addition of Marco Angulo and Yerson Mosquera. Angulo is considered a promising young prospect that needed a fresh start, while Mosquera was brought in on loan from Wolverhampton.
Luciano Acosta has been very good in both of his MLS stints. He was great on DC United alongside Wayne Rooney a few years ago, and he has been superb in his return to the league on FC Cincinnati. Acosta was named an MLS Best XI selection for the second time in his career last year, and he is a superb set-up man for both Brandon Vazquez and Brenner. There is some potential for improvement with both Vazquez and Brenner too as neither player is 25 yet.

FC Cincinnati has not followed 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.
The second season was just as bad for FC Cincinnati. This was the worst team in the league with a 4-15-4 record and a -24 goal differential. FC Cincinnati finished with five less points than any other team in the MLS.
Somehow, FC Cincinnati was even worse in 2021. The club finished with a ghastly 20 points in 34 matches, and they were outscored by a 2:1 margin. They finished eight points behind the next worst team (Toronto FC), and their -37 goal differential was 10 goals worse than any other club.
However, the club finally turned the corner during the 2022 season. They nearly matched their win total and goals scored from their first three combined seasons as they made it to the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time. Brandon Vazquez and Brenner each scored 18 goals, and Vazquez was named to the MLS Best XI team alongside Luciano Acosta.
