Even so, the gap between them is stark. Vancouver Whitecaps arrive top of the Western Conference, while FC Cincinnati sit seventh in the East and squarely in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/us\/mls\/\">MLS<\/a> playoff mix.<\/p>\n\n<p>bet365 make Vancouver Whitecaps the favorites at -140 to win, with FC Cincinnati out at +280 and the draw priced at +310. That reflects the visitors&#8217; league-best defense against a Cincinnati side that tends to trade goals at both ends.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>\n.sq-bpg{--lime:#a8e039;--glow:#c8f24c;--tx:#f4f8f1;--mut:rgba(244,248,241,.62);--line:rgba(255,255,255,.10);--gold:#F7B500;--b365:#ffdd00;position:relative;overflow:hidden;isolation:isolate;font-family:'Bricolage
