Eastern Conference leaders FC Cincinnati will look to extend their impressive record against Toronto FC, having gone unbeaten in their last seven meetings since 2022 with Cincinnati winning six of those encounters.
Pat Noonan's Cincinnati squad enters Wednesday's clash in strong form with five wins in their last six matches, spearheaded by Brazilian forward Evander who has netted nine goals this season.
Toronto FC, sitting third-worst in the Eastern Conference with just 10 points from 12 matches, will aim to build momentum following their 2-0 victory over DC United but face a significant challenge against Cincinnati's stingy defense that has conceded just 14 goals this campaign.

Toronto vs. Cincinnati preview
Cincinnati's dominance over Toronto FC continues to be one of MLS's most predictable storylines, with the Eastern Conference leaders unbeaten in their last seven meetings against the struggling Canadian side.
Manager Pat Noonan has transformed Cincinnati into a clinical outfit that consistently strikes first, as evidenced by Brazilian forward Evander's seventh goal of the season in their recent win over Austin FC.
Toronto, meanwhile, enters with a glimmer of hope after their convincing 2-0 victory against DC United, but they'll face a much sterner test against Cincinnati's formidable defense that has conceded just 14 goals this campaign.
The hosts will be significantly undermanned with Kerr, Osorio, Cimermancic, and Wingo all sidelined for Wednesday's clash, placing even more pressure on Federico Bernardeschi to create something special.
Argentine striker Lucas Orellano, who tormented Toronto with a brace in Cincinnati's thrilling 4-3 away win last season, looks primed to cause problems again for a defense that has struggled to find consistency.
While all three of Cincinnati's losses this season have come on the road, they'll fancy their chances of extending their impressive record at BMO Field where Toronto has failed to string together consecutive wins all season.
