The Story:

Orlando City enters the matchup with a slight edge in the all-time series against FC Cincinnati, holding a 5W-4L-4D record with all meetings occurring in MLS regular-season play. The Lions have also found success on the road in this fixture, posting a 3W-1L-3D record in Cincinnati.

Griffin Dorsey has continued his strong run of form, scoring four goals across all competitions this season and finding the back of the net in three consecutive matches for the Lions. His latest strike came in Orlando City's victory over Atlanta United FC in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals, where he finished a well-worked attacking move and continued his impact in the final third from the back line. In all, the fullback has recorded five goal contributions (4g, 1a) in 15 appearances across all competitions since joining Orlando City this past offseason.

Over their last eight matches across all competitions, the Lions have been in strong attacking form, scoring four goals in two of their last three matches and five times overall during that stretch. The run began with the club's April 22 win over Charlotte FC and extended into Tuesday's Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup quarterfinal victory over Atlanta United, with Orlando City totaling 23 goals across their last eight contests.
