The action continues in MLS as FC Cincinnati and FC Dallas go head-to-head at the TQL Stadium on Wednesday. Pat Noonan’s men are one of just two sides unbeaten at home in the league this season and will be looking to extend this fine run.
Cincinnati were guilty of a wasteful display in front of goal on Monday when they fell to a 4-2 defeat against Atlanta United at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Before that, Noonan’s side were on a three-game unbeaten run (2W 1D) and had picked up seven wins and one draw from their previous nine outings.
With 29 points from 15 MLS matches, Cincinnati currently sit second in the Eastern Conference standings, just one point behind first-placed Philadelphia Union.
Dallas, on the other hand, failed to find their feet last weekend as they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Seattle Sounders at Lumen Field.
Eric Quill’s men have now lost three back-to-back games across all competitions, a run which has seen them crash out of the US Open Cup courtesy of a penalty-shootout defeat against New York Red Bulls on May 22.
Dallas have picked up 16 points from their 14 MLS matches so far to sit 11th in the Western Conference standings, but could move level with eighth-placed San Jose Earthquakes with a win on Wednesday.
