Preview
Cincinnati come into this after a 1-1 draw in their previous clash against Philadelphia last week.
Bedoya and Vazquez scored for either side to ensure a share of the spoils. This got Cincinnati a point but leaves them winless in their previous 3 matches.
With that point, the hosts are left in 8th place with 20 points from 15 matches and are just outside the play-off spots due to a poor goal difference.
This is their chance to get into the contending slots and get a run of positive results.
On the other hand, Orlando got back to winning ways last week with a 2-1 win over Houston last week.

The victory pushed them to 4th place in the MLS table with 25 points from 16 matches as they remain 3 points behind table toppers, NYCFC.
Orlando eye successive wins as they target the top of the table.
Both teams last met in March earlier this year, where Cincinnati won 2-1 away from home.
