Atlanta United vs Cincinnati Prediction and Betting Tips | May 25th 2025
Atlanta United will host Cincinnati at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday in another round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The home side have endured a poor start to their season finding themselves second-from-bottom in the Eastern Conference with just 11 points from 14 matches as they continue to adjust to life under new boss Ronny Deila.
They suffered a narrow 1-0 home defeat to Philadelphia Union last time out, struggling to gain a foothold in the contest before their opponents clinched maximum points with a penalty kick at the hour mark.
Cincinnati, meanwhile, have enjoyed a bright start to their season and are now making an early push for a fourth consecutive playoff appearance. They picked up a good point in their 1-1 draw away at Columbus Crew last time out with Kevin Denkey opening the scoring after just six minutes before their opponents drew level in the second-half.
The visitors, who sit second in the East, are level on points with leaders Philadelphia and could potentially go top with maximum points on Sunday.
