Cincinnati form and stats

Cincinnati, who have the fewest scored goals (10) in Major League Soccer, have only collected 4 points from their away games after 1-1-5 (7 played).

Cincinnati won their last game, 2-1 versus Montreal Impact played at home. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting SJ Earthquakes's place.
