The 2022 MLS Cup playoffs get underway this weekend, as New York Red Bulls and FC Cincinnati square off at Red Bull Arena. The pair finished fourth and fifth respectively in the Eastern Conference this season.
There were just four points to split them in the end - and while home advantage might favour the former, there's plenty in the air that could make this a pulsating encounter.
