Welcome to your match thread for a Saturday night match-up between Orlando City (0W-OL-2D, 2 points) and FC Cincinnati (0-1-1, 1 point) at Exploria Stadium. It’s the first meeting between the teams since 2019, the first of three scheduled match-ups this season, and the only one slated for Exploria Stadium. The two sides will meet twice in Cincinnati’s brand new TQL Stadium — on Aug. 7 and Oct. 16.
History
Orlando City leads the all-time series, 1-0-1. Due to a quirk of the pandemic scheduling in 2020, the most recent meeting was a 1-1 draw at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati on Sept.
