On Wednesday, May 10, FC Cincinnati will meet New York City FC in the Round of 32 of the US Open Cup at TQL Stadium.
New York City FC enters Wednesday night's U.S. Open Cup match seventh in the Eastern Conference table, with the Hudson River Derby at Red Bull Arena on Saturday. NYCFC has dropped back-to-back league games to Toronto FC and Charlotte FC.
The season has produced a mixed bag of results for NYCFC, with the Boys in Blue performing well at home (4-0-1) but failing on the road (0-4-2). The Pigeons have scored 10 goals at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field but just four goals away from home.
FC Cincinnati began its Open Cup campaign with a 1-0 win over Louisville City FC, and the starting lineup included a 15-year-old prospect and a cast of primarily second-line players.
FC Cincinnati has an MLS-best (6-0-0) home record this season. TQL Stadium has become a stronghold for the Orange and Blue this season, with FCC holding a pristine record including the win over Louisville City in the U.S. Open Cup Third Round.
FC Cincinnati plays the second of four consecutive home games on Wednesday after defeating D.C. United on Saturday. If the Orange and Blue move past NYCFC into the Round of 16, they might play a fifth consecutive home game.
