On Sunday, the Hell is Real Derby between the Columbus Crew and FC Cincinnati reaches double-digit matches when Lower.com Field hosts the 10th edition of the in-state Major League Soccer rivalry. It’s also the first time in the rivalry’s history that both teams hover near a potential spot in the MLS Cup playoffs and the only time Cincinnati’s been higher in the standings when the two teams have met.
To prepare for an Orange and Blue side that enters the game on a six-match unbeaten run, Massive Report talked with someone who knows FC Cincinnati well, so we reached out to Bryan Weigel of Cincinnati Soccer Talk.
