Can FC Cincinnati climb above the Eastern Conference play-off line in this Friday night clash in Ohio?
Last weekend, Pat Noonan’s side battled to an impressive point away at Subaru Park against Philadelphia Union.
Brandon Vazquez equalising in Pennsylvania, firing home his eighth goal of the season.
Before this, Cincinnati’s positive start to the campaign had been derailed by back-to-back defeats against New England and Montréal.
Nevertheless, they are only outside the play-off places on goal difference, a vast improvement on their usual position of dead-last.
As for Orlando City, they’re currently fourth in the east and would move top, even if only temporarily, with a victory.
Óscar Pareja’s side, just about, beating Houston Dynamo 2-1 last weekend, courtesy of Ercan Kara’s brace at Exploria Stadium.
The Lions were winless in three prior to this victory but, conversely, have only lost three of their last ten.
Coming up on Wednesday, Orlando host Nashville SC in a U.S. Open Cup quarter-final; the winners will face RBNY for a place in the final.
Before that huge game to come in midweek, will the visitors leave TQL Stadium with all three points?
