Cincinnati will host Orlando City at the TQL Stadium on Sunday in another round of the 2025 Major League Soccer campaign. The home side have enjoyed yet another strong season and have now secured a spot in the playoffs for a fourth consecutive campaign as they sit second in the Eastern Conference with 58 points from 31 matches.
They beat 10-man LA Galaxy 3-2 on the road in their last match with Ender Echenique opening the scoring 10 minutes in to register his maiden goal for the club before Udinese loanee Brener netted a brace to seal the points.
Orlando City have had their struggles in recent games but remain on course to secure playoff football at the end of the regular season. They beat Nashville 3-2 last time out, taking a two-goal lead in the first half via a Martin Ojeda brace, squandering it early in the second before Duncan McGuire came off the bench to score a late winner.

The visitors sit sixth in the East with 51 points and will secure post-season football with maximum points on Sunday.
