Pat Noonan is expecting Los Angeles FC to pose a tough test to FC Cincinnati, especially as they are coming off the back of their US Open Cup success.
Cincinnati sit second in the Eastern Conference and are currently unbeaten in four matches, alternating between a win and a draw in that run.
They let a lead slip twice in a 2-2 draw with Nashville SC last time out though, and Noonan knows his side cannot let their guard down at TQL Stadium on Saturday.
[LAFC] are coming in on a high, Noonan said. They re a very strong team. They just won a trophy, and rightfully so, they should be coming in with good energy and excitement.
They ve won some [finals], they ve lost some, but they have experience in getting there and knowing what those games look like.
