Cincinnati host Toronto at the TQL Stadium on Saturday in MLS, looking to end a three-game winless run across competitions.
The Orange and Blue started their campaign with back-to-back wins. They crushed Motagua 4-1 in the CONCACAF Champions League before beating New York Red Bulls 1-0 in their league opener.
However, since then, it has all gone downhill for them. Cincinnati drew Motagua 1-1 in the return leg, lost 4-1 to Philadelphia before drawing in the Champions League with Tigres UNAL.
On the league front, Pat Noonan's side are eighth in the Eastern Conference with three points. They will be delighted to know that Toronto are a further four places adrift.
Without any win in the bag, it hasn't been an ideal start to the top-flight campaign for the Canadian outfit. A 2-2 draw with DC United was followed by a crushing 4-2 loss to Orlando City as their season went from bad to worse.
Now in their third consecutive away game, the Reds are hoping for a change of fortunes.
