When FC Cincinnati plays host to Toronto at TQL Stadium on Wednesday, they will have a chance to tie the 2002 San Jose Earthquakes for the longest winning streak at home in MLS.
Despite the Canadians going unbeaten in four straight games, playing to a 1-1 draw against Nashville SC the most recent time out, the Orange and Blue have won all nine of their domestic matches at home this season and currently hold a 40-point lead in the Supporters' Shield standings.

When FC Cincinnati plays host to Toronto at TQL Stadium on Wednesday, they will have a chance to tie the 2002 San Jose Earthquakes for the longest home-winning streak in MLS.
Despite the Canadians going unbeaten in four straight games, playing to a 1-1 draw against Nashville SC the most recent time out, the Orange and Blue have won all nine of their matches at home this season and currently hold a 40-point lead in the Supporters' Shield standings.
The main reason Toronto is currently ranked 13th in the Eastern Conference, three points short of a playoff berth, is that they have lacked the killing instinct to put teams away for a significant portion of this season.
It is surprising to see them among the lowest-scoring teams in MLS this season, having scored the third-fewest goals in the Eastern Conference thus far (17), for a team that aggressively invested in attacking quality last year by bringing in players with experience in the major five European leagues.
TFC is one of only three clubs in the league without an away win this season; their lone previous away success in this tournament came at Charlotte FC at the end of August 2022, with a score of 2-0.
