Cincinnati are in poor form in the MLS, losing back-to-back matches, most recently against Toronto. Brazilian attacking midfielder Evander returned from injury in that game, which is a timely boost for the Orange & Blue, who have failed to find the back of the net in consecutive MLS matches.
Tigres arrive in Ohio in good spirits after defeating cross-town rivals Monterrey 1-0 in the Clásico Regiomontano on Saturday. Legendary French striker André-Pierre Gignac, now 40, came off the bench to dramatically score the only goal in stoppage time.

How to watch on the Big Screen
Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:
- Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
- Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
