Cincinnati vs. Orlando Picks

Both Cincinnati and Orlando picked up morale-boosting victories in their latest outings, but this is a much tougher assignment for both teams on Sunday.

Orlando’s leaky defense is stagnating their playoff challenge, and they could be vulnerable against one of the best attacking units in the MLS. Therefore, a home victory is preferred when making Cincinnati vs. Orlando picks on Sunday.
