Claude Opus 4.8
FC Cincinnati score freely at home while NYCFC arrive on a three-game losing streak with roughly eight players unavailable, tilting this toward a home win despite both defenses being porous, so an open scoreline is likely.

Model notes
Claude Opus 5
Cincinnati are a high-volume scoring side at TQL Stadium (46 goals for, but 45 conceded), while NYCFC arrive on a poor run with a significant injury list thinning their attack. Expect an open game that home advantage tips toward FCC, though their leaky defense keeps a draw or NYCFC smash-and-grab live.
DeepSeek V4 Pro
FC Cincinnati's high-scoring home attack faces a depleted NYCFC side missing eight players and on a three-match losing streak, while NYCFC's defensive absences should allow Cincinnati to edge a tight contest.
Gemini 3.1 Pro
NYCFC are struggling with a three-game losing streak and an extensive injury list of eight players, including several key starters. FC Cincinnati's matches have been incredibly high-scoring this season, and their home advantage should help them edge out a vulnerable NYCFC side.
Gemini 3.6 Flash
FC Cincinnati's potent home attack (46 goals scored overall) faces a depleted New York City FC side missing several key starters, including Maxi Moralez and Alonso Martínez. Although Cincinnati's leaky defense gives NYCFC chances to score, home advantage and depth should push the hosts to a tight victory.
Gemini 3.7 Flash
FC Cincinnati boast one of the most prolific attacks in the conference led by Denkey and Evander, giving them the edge at home against an NYCFC squad managing multiple key absences.
Gemma 4 31B
FC Cincinnati are strong at home and possess high scoring potential with Denkey and Evander, while NYCFC is severely depleted with eight players missing, including key forward Alonso Martínez.
Muse Spark 1.2
Cincinnati are prolific at TQL Stadium and rarely lose two straight at home, while NYCFC arrive on three straight defeats shipping multiple goals and missing eight players including Thiago Martins, Maxi Moralez and Alonso Martinez. Cincinnati's attack led by Denkey and Evander should exploit that depleted defense despite their own leaky backline and absences.
MiniMax M3
FC Cincinnati are prolific scorers at TQL Stadium (46 goals this season, league-leading Evander on 8 assists) and have not lost back-to-back home games, while NYCFC arrive on a three-match losing streak and are missing up to eight players including key attackers Alonso Martínez and Hannes Wolf. However, NYCFC's stout defense (24 GA in 18 matches vs FCC's 45 in 19) and their 2-1 win in the prior meeting keep the away side live, hence a 2-1 home win as the modal scoreline with a meaningful draw probability.
Mistral Large 3
FC Cincinnati are in stronger form at home, with a potent attack and defensive solidity, while NYCFC are struggling with injuries, suspensions, and poor recent results. However, NYCFC's underlying quality and Cincinnati's injury concerns keep the draw and away win possibilities alive.
Kimi K2.6
FC Cincinnati's explosive home attack faces a depleted NYCFC side missing eight players and on a three-match losing skid, though Cincinnati's own defensive injuries and leaky backline keep the match competitive and the draw well in play.
Kimi K3
FC Cincinnati's prolific home attack (Denkey's 11 goals, Evander's league-leading 8 assists) faces an NYCFC side on a three-game losing skid and missing eight players including top scorer Alonso Martínez and creator Maxi Moralez. NYCFC won the reverse fixture and defends reasonably well, so an away upset or draw is possible, but the depleted visitors face a tough midweek trip to TQL Stadium.
Nemotron 3 Ultra
Cincinnati's high-scoring home form (46 goals in 19 games) and resilience at TQL Stadium (no back-to-back home losses) outweigh NYCFC's severe injury crisis (8 players out including Martínez and Moralez), though Cincinnati's own defensive frailties and injury list keep the draw and away win plausible.
GPT-5.6 Sol
Cincinnati’s prolific attack and home advantage give them the edge against an NYCFC side reportedly weakened by numerous absences. Cincinnati’s defensive record still leaves a meaningful chance of a draw or away win.
Qwen3.7 Plus
FC Cincinnati are strong at home with a potent attack (46 goals in 19 games, led by Denkey's 11 and Evander's 8 assists), while NYCFC are depleted with 8 players out including key attackers and have lost three straight. Despite Cincinnati's leaky defense, NYCFC's severely reduced squad and poor form give the home side a clear edge in what should be an open, high-scoring affair.
Grok 4.5
Cincinnati's strong home attack (high-scoring wins, Denkey/Evander) and full squad edge a depleted NYCFC missing multiple key players after a recent home collapse; both sides concede regularly so a narrow home win is likeliest amid ~27% draw baseline.
MiMo v2.5-Pro
FC Cincinnati are prolific at home (46 goals in 19 games) and face an NYCFC side on a three-match losing streak while missing eight players to injury, including key forward Alonso Martínez. However, NYCFC's strong recent H2H record (unbeaten in last 5 vs Cincinnati) and quality of Fernández Mercau (13 goals) keep this from being a blowout, with a draw also a real possibility given Cincinnati's own defensive vulnerabilities (45 conceded).
GLM-5.2
FC Cincinnati's prolific attack (46 goals in 19 games) faces a severely depleted NYCFC side missing eight players including key defender Thiago Martins and forward Alonso Martínez. NYCFC are on a three-game losing streak conceding multiple goals each time, while Cincinnati are strong at TQL Stadium and motivated to avenge their earlier 2-1 loss to NYCFC.
