New York Red Bulls hostFC Cincinnati in the second-leg of their MLS play-off tie with the latter entering the contest on a back of a thumping 3-0 victory against the home side.
After the heavy defeat, New York Red Bulls can't afford another loss in their own backyard as it could see them bow out of the tournament. Failing to qualify from this stage in four of their previous five campaigns, the American side have a daunting task lying in front of them. Despite the previous result, New York Red Bulls have been a challenging force playing in front of their own faithful as they ended the regular campaign with two victories at home with an aggregate scoreline of 8-2, something they'll look to replicate here.
FC Cincinnati, on the other hand, began the three-legged tie with a scinitllating 3-0 victory. Alvaro Barreal's brace alongside Luciano Acosta's 17th goal of the 2022/23 MLS campaign saw Saturday's visitors achieve a massive result to put them ahead in the tie. Another similar result on the road could see them attain qualification and continue their hunt towards the prestigious piece of silverware.
