However, the Lions have not been able to secure a win in their last three meetings with FC Cincinnati. Last season, Cincinnati swept Orlando in their two matchups, and the teams also played to a 0-0 draw earlier this year.

The most recent game between these two teams took place on June 24, 2022, at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati. Orlando City lost that game 1-0, with Brenner scoring the only goal. However, the Lions’ goalkeeper, Pedro Gallese, made eight saves to keep the scoreline close. Earlier this year, FC Cincinnati recorded their first win in the series with a 2-1 victory in Orlando.

Orlando City’s first road victory against FC Cincinnati came on October 16, 2021, when they won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Junior Urso. Cincinnati held Orlando to a 1-1 draw in their August 7, 2021, matchup, with Nani equalizing after Brenner had opened the scoring. The Lions’ first win in the series came on May 21, 2021, when they defeated Cincinnati 3-0 at home.

Overview

Orlando City is playing their second road match this week, having recently played to a 1-1 draw in Charlotte. The Lions have been strong on the road this season, boasting a record of 6-3-4 and remaining unbeaten in their last three away games.

On the other hand, FC Cincinnati has the best home record in the league, with a record of 12-0-1. They have already secured a playoff spot and are on a good run of form, with a 4-0-2 record in their last six matches.

Key Players and Strategies

When it comes to facing FC Cincinnati, Orlando City will need to keep their key attacking player, Luciano Acosta, under control. Acosta has made significant contributions to his team’s offense this season, with 13 goals and 11 assists. Orlando City will also need to watch out for Brandon Vazquez, who has scored five goals and provided three assists.

In terms of their playing style, FC Cincinnati is proficient in both high-scoring games and low-scoring affairs. They have a balanced offensive lineup and are particularly dangerous on the counterattack. Orlando City will need to frustrate their opponents and disrupt their rhythm in order to have a chance at victory.

Unfortunately, Orlando City will be without some key players due to injuries. Antonio Carlos, Gaston Gonzalez, and Favian Loyola will all be unavailable for this match. The status of Robin Jansson is uncertain, as he left the previous game with a knock.

Predicted Lineups

For Orlando City, we anticipate the following lineup: Pedro Gallese in goal, with Rafael Santos, Robin Jansson, Rodrigo Schlegel, and Dagur Dan Thorhallsson in defense. Cesar Araujo and Wilder Cartagena will play as defensive midfielders, while Ivan Angulo, Mauricio Pereyra, and Facundo Torres will be the attacking midfielders. Duncan McGuire will lead the line as the forward.

FC Cincinnati is likely to field the following lineup: Roman Celentano in goal, with Ian Murphy, Matt Miazga, and Nick Hagglund as the defenders. Alvaro Barreal, Obinna Nwobodo, Yuya Kubo, and Bret Halsey will play as midfielders and wingbacks.
