FC Cincinnati seek to avenge a loss to the New York Red Bulls in April when the teams meet for the second and final time this regular season at Nippert Stadium Saturday night.

FC Cincy (3-8-2) are looking to bounce back from a 5-1 loss at Orlando City SC Sunday. Darren Mattocks opened the scoring for the visitors, but the Lions roared for five unanswered goals, two apiece by Tesho Akindele and Nani and one by Dom Dwyer to cruise.

The Red Bulls (5-5-3) hope to close out a busy week with three points after playing the Vancouver Whitecaps to a 2-2 draw at Red Bull Arena on Wednesday, extending an unbeaten run to three games. Brian White canceled out Scott Sutter's early strike to send the game into halftime level before the hosts took a 2-1 lead on an own goal in the 55th minute. Six minutes later, though, the Whitecaps equalized on Fredy Montero's penalty kick after Sean Nealis handled the ball in the box.

The Red Bulls won the lone meeting between the teams, 1-0, at Red Bull Arena on a stunning Connor Lade goal on April 27.
