FC Cincinnati will look to leapfrog Eastern Conference leaders Inter Miami when they play host to Philadelphia Union at TQL Stadium on Wednesday evening.
Cincinnati have been one of the standout teams in the MLS this season. Currently sitting in second place in the Eastern Conference with 36 points from 17 games, they are just two points behind Inter Miami, who lead the table in the East.
In stark contrast, Philadelphia Union have had a tricky start to the season as they currently languish in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with 20 points from 17 games, having not lived up to the pre-season expectations that saw them tipped as strong contenders for the MLS Cup.
