Toronto Fc vs Fc Cincinnati Picks and Predictions May 14th 2025

FC Cincinnati Can’t Afford to Look Past Toronto FC

With a high-stakes clash against the Columbus Crew looming this weekend, FC Cincinnati must avoid the trap of looking ahead. First, they’ll head to Canada for a midweek Eastern Conference matchup with Toronto FC on Wednesday night.

Staying Focused Before the Rivalry

FC Cincinnati (8-3-1, 25 points) enters this contest riding high after a 2-1 win over Austin FC on Saturday. That victory was a bounce-back effort after their five-game winning streak was snapped by a 1-0 loss at New York City FC.

The response was swift and aggressive. Cincinnati outshot Austin 18-11, with seven shots on goal compared to Austin’s two.

“There was certainly an improvement with how we move the ball and have better decisions, more composure,”
– FC Cincinnati head coach Pat Noonan

Forward Evander continued his standout season by scoring his team-leading seventh goal and assisting on Gerardo Valenzuela’s game-winner. The effort earned Evander a fourth appearance on the MLS Team of the Matchday this season.

Those betting on MLS predictions will find Cincinnati’s offense particularly attractive with its recent surge in form.

Toronto FC Starting to Click

Toronto FC (2-6-4, 10 points) sits near the bottom of the table, but they grabbed a crucial win over D.C. United last Saturday, marking their first home victory of the year.

Lorenzo Insigne played a key role, scoring in the 48th minute and helping generate an own goal later in the second half. Goalkeeper Sean Johnson recorded five saves in the shutout performance, earning both players a spot on the MLS Team of the Matchday.

“His intelligence and understanding offensively and defensively is underestimated,”
– Toronto head coach Robin Fraser on Insigne

Toronto has shown flashes of cohesion and threat, and they’ll be looking to carry that momentum into Wednesday’s clash.

A Familiar Foe

Cincinnati earned a 2-0 win over Toronto earlier this season on March 8 and holds an 8-4-1 all-time record in the series. But with Columbus waiting on Saturday, FC Cincinnati must remain sharp against a team that has shown it can frustrate stronger opponents.

Adding to the excitement, Cincinnati signed MLS legend Kei Kamara through 2025 with an option for 2026. The 40-year-old striker is second all-time in MLS with 147 regular-season goals and brings a wealth of experience to the club.
