The emotions of the 2023 MLS season continue, and all the teams are ready to fight in each match in this second half.
From now on, every match becomes much more important, as their qualification to the next tournament stage depends on it. In addition, the fact that we are coming from a break (somewhat prolonged) for many teams due to the Leagues Cup, some franchises have a little more determination and confidence.

Where to watch?
Why Bet on the FC Cincinnati?
FC Cincinnati comes into the 2023 MLS season with the firm conviction of staying at the top of the Eastern Conference. Currently, the team is in first place in the table, with an excellent record of 15 wins, 6 draws, and 3 defeats, 8 points ahead of their closest pursuers, New England.
However, the Orange & Blue is coming from two disappointing defeats in a row. The first was in Round 32 of the Leagues Cup against Nashville SC on penalties (4-5). Then, returning to MLS, the team lost terribly in their visit to Columbus Crew by 0-3.
It is true that FC Cincinnati still has an important points cushion in MLS, but they should not let their guard down, and even more so now that we have a big battle in all areas of the table.
Why Bet on the NYC FC?
On the other hand, we have NYC FC, another team that is having a disappointing season in MLS, but they are hoping to get back to their best in the second half of the season.
The Citizens come from being one of the strongest teams in MLS in the previous seasons, but in 2023 the team has shown a really low performance.
NYC FC is ranked #13 in the standings, with 5 wins, 11 draws, and 9 losses. The team is still close to the qualification spots for the next tournament stage, but they need to get on a winning streak as soon as possible.
The team from the Big Apple is coming off a 2-0 home loss to Minnesota.
