Charlotte FC Preview

Last weekend Dean Smith’s men suffered their first setback of the new calendar year. Losing 1-0 to Messi-less Inter Miami. Inside the 90-minute frame, the Crowns controlled most of the tempo finishing with a higher xG of 0.72 and maintained 57 percent of the ball control, but couldn’t capitalize on their limited chances. 

Despite failing to get Charlotte on the board, Wilfred Zaha put in a superb shift. The Crowns’ offseason marquee signing finished with the most chances created in the match with two, and also completed the most dribbles with seven. Zaha has represented his home nation Ivory Coast at the senior level on 32 occasions, scoring five international goals. 

Last season’s double-digit goal scorer, Patrick Agyemang has failed to hit the back of the net in his first three outings in 2025. Through 246 minutes played, the 24-year-old has only managed to garner four shots directed towards the target. With Zaha on his wing, it could be only a matter of time before Agyemang snaps his cold streak.

FC Cincinnati Preview

2023 MLS coach of the year winner, Pat Noonan has his troops ready once again this year, acquiring two wins in three MLS tilts to kickoff 2025. Last weekend The Orange and Blue took care of business with a couple of late goals to dethrone Toronto FC 2-0. 

Kevin Denky was FC Cincy’s big acquisition this winter transfer window, moving abroad from Belgium. So far the signing is paying off early as the 24-year-old has a pair of goals in three appearances. Against Toronto FC, his second career MLS goal came from the spot kick area in the 73rd minute. 

Cincinnati’s blockbuster trade that saw Evander switch from Portland to The Knifey Lions is another solid deal the club made this winter. Through three showings with his new employers, the midfielder has registered a goal and an assist. In his stint with the Timbers, the Brazilian put up monster numbers amassing 26 goals and 22 assists, checking into 61 matches across all competitions.

Charlotte FC vs. FC Cincinnati - My Pick

• Charlotte FC vs. FC Cincinnati pick: Charlotte draw no bet (-175) at bet365

So far three weeks in, it’s fair to say these two opponents match up evenly from what they have produced so far. That said, we feel the edge goes towards the home team on Saturday. Charlotte has yet to be defeated by Cincinnati at Bank of America Stadium, which is why we are taking the safer route with the draw no bet wager, a win will return a profit, and a draw will deliver a push. Another key factor to fade The Orange and Blue is they have a date on Tuesday in continental tournament play with a stop in the Greater Monterrey area in Mexico. We feel with the short rest and travel FC Cincinnati is in a vulnerable situation.
