Ronald Matarrita will be suspended this weekend for Cincinnati. Maikel van der Werff continues to suffer with a hernia problem and will miss out once more. Gyau remains a doubt following his own injury problems, whilst Kenneth Vermeer joins him as well. Thiago was sent off after coming on as a substitute in midweek so will be suspended this weekend. NYCFC will still be without Heber as he continues rehab from his ACL injury.
Cincinnati were easily beaten in midweek, falling 4-0 to Atlanta, as their poor form continues. NYC sit happily in fourth spot currently but have hit some bad form with just one win in five. Neither team will be high on confidence heading into this one and this could spill onto the pitch with a draw being the outcome. 1:1
