FC CINCINNATI 2 NOTES

SEASON SERIES ON THE LINE – FC Cincinnati 2 will play their third and final meeting of the season against Toronto FC II this weekend. The two sides split a pair of 2-1 wins in two matches at York Lions Stadium on April 14 and July 14. There has always been a regulation time winner when the Orange and Blue and Young Reds face off, and Cincinnati can level the all-time series at 4-4-0 with a win Sunday night.

BATTLE FOR THE TOP SPOT – The Orange and Blue have held the top spot in the east since defeating Chicago Fire FC II, 5-0, on July 28, but things are getting tight as the regular season draws to a close. Eight points separate eighth place Chattanooga FC from the Orange and Blue as just one team in the conference has been eliminated from playoff contention (New England Revolution II).

THE HOME STRETCH – The Orange and Blue will play six matches from September 1 through October 6 to close out the MLSNP regular season. Cincinnati are 4-2-2 this season against their remaining opponents, which includes a third and final meeting against Columbus Crew 2 and a first meeting with Orlando City B on MLS NEXT Pro’s Decision Day at TQL Stadium on October 6.

Tickets for the regular season finale at TQL Stadium are on sale and can be purchased here.
