Orlando City SC look to snap a four-match winless streak when they host FC Cincinnati in the first meeting between the Eastern Conference foes at Orlando City Stadium Sunday afternoon.
The Lions (3-6-3) are coming off a 2-1 loss at the Seattle Sounders on Wednesday, their third consecutive defeat. After falling behind on goals by Raul Ruidiaz and Handwalla Bwana, Chris Mueller breathed late life into the visitors with a 75th-minute goal, but Orlando couldn't find the equalizer.
FC Cincinnati (3-7-2) snapped a five-match losing streak with a 2-1 win over the Montreal Impact at Nippert Stadium. Allan Cruz and Fatai Alashe scored in each half for FCC before Orji Okwonkwo pulled the Impact a goal back in the 75th minute.
