FC Cincinnati News Release


FC Cincinnati at Toronto FC II

FCC plays its regular-season finale this Sat., Oct. 14 at Toronto FC II with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

The match will be aired on WSTR.

PLAYOFF SCENARIOS

FCC holds onto eighth place in the Eastern Conference table with 43 points and an 11-10-10 record.

While FCC can control their destiny with a win, there are a few scenarios at play.

Orlando City B (10-9-12) is one point behind FCC with 42.

An Orlando City B loss this Thurs. at Tampa Bay Rowdies (50 pts.) would mean a playoff berth for FCC based on points.

An Orlando City B tie would also secure a playoff berth for FCC, regardless if the Orange and Blue fall to Toronto FC II Sat. due to the first tiebreaker, which is total wins.

Should Orlando City B win over Tampa Bay, FCC would be in a must-win situation as Bethlehem Steel FC (12-12-7) currently holds the edge in total wins.

Teams above FCC can affect the Orange and Blue's final position should FCC win Sat.

Matches to watch will be New York Red Bulls II's (44 pts.) road match at Rochester (50 pts.) and Bethlehem Steel FC contest against Saint Louis FC this Sun at. BST's Goodman Stadium.
