ORLANDO, Fla. - Orlando City SC (3-5-3, 12 points) closes out its two-game road trip on Wednesday against the Seattle Sounders (6-1-4, 22 points). Kickoff is set for 10:30 p.m. ET at CenturyLink Field.

"We have great confidence in our group and the depth we have to go and get a result in Seattle," Orlando City Head Coach James O'Connor said. "Similar to Atlanta, the atmosphere should be exciting and these are the types of matches our guys are excited to be in."

Following Wednesday's contest, the Lions return to Orlando for their third of three matches in an eight-day span when they face 2019 MLS expansion side FC Cincinnati on Sunday at Orlando City Stadium.
