Let’s break down this matchup by the numbers, presented by CTI.
4
FC Cincinnati have won four-straight league games. That’s one game shy of the longest streak in the league this season, set by expansion side St. Louis CITY SC in their first five games in club history.
The active four-game winning streak is the longest in club history.
5
Now getting to across all competitions, FC Cincinnati are 5-0-1 in six games this month. FCC will look to make it an unbeaten month of May, closing out the team’s seven-game month on Wednesday night.
FC Cincinnati’s five wins this month are the most for the club in any single month in club history.
6
For as strong as the Orange and Blue have been as of late, New York City FC have been the opposite. Nick Cushing’s team are winless in six straight, with the last win in any competition coming on April 22 at home against FC Dallas.
One of those six games came at TQL Stadium on May 10, FC Cincinnati’s 1-0 win in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 32.
11
New York City FC in their last 11 home games across all competitions are a stellar 8-1-2.
However, the one loss in that stretch for the Pigeons? That came on Saturday night at Citi Field against Philadelphia Union. The Union came in and won 3-1 on NYCFC’s home field, despite the hosts scoring first.
85.3
New York City FC are known for their strong passing, particularly on their narrow home field at Yankee Stadium. NYCFC’s 85.3% accurate passing percentage ranks second in the league, only behind LA Galaxy’s 87.8% mark.
1,260
FC Cincinnati’s seven clean sheets in league play this season are tied for the most in a single season in club history (2020).
Two keys to that success have been goalkeeper Roman Celentano and defender Matt Miazga, who each have played all 1,260 minutes in all 14 regular season games this year.
Miazga is one of just nine non-goalkeepers across MLS to have played the maximum-possible minutes played for their respective teams (minimum 14 games played).
