FC Cincinnati and Toronto FC will square off against each other for the second time in less than a week at the TQL Stadium on Wednesday.
FC Cincinnati picked up an impressive 2-1 win over Toronto FC on the road last weekend. Ian Murphy and Luciano Acosta were on target for the Orange and Blue while Jesus Jimenez was able to pull one back for Toronto.
It was a much-needed win for Pat Noonan's side, who had only picked up four of a possible 12 points in their games in April despite scoring first in all of those four matches. Cincinnati are presently 11th in the MLS Eastern Conference standings with 10 points from nine matches.
They have drawn just one game and lost five and will be looking to climb back to a playoff spot as they attempt to do a league double over the Reds on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Toronto FC have lost their last two matches. Prior to their 2-1 loss to Cincinnati, they fell 5-4 to 10-men New York City FC. They were unable to take the game to Cincinnati as well and Bob Bradley's men couldn't match their opponent's intensity for the majority of the game.
Toronto FC are yet to pick up a win on the road this season. They are presently eighth in the MLS Eastern Conference table with 11 points from nine matches.
