The Story:

Facundo Torres bagged a brace in the Club's most recent 2-1 victory over St. Louis CITY SC. Torres now sits fifth all-time for the Lions in goals scored with 23, passing former Lion Chris Mueller. He is just one goal behind Dom Dwyer for fourth in Club history.

Orlando City is the best road team in the Eastern Conference up to this point in the year, earning six road victories during the 2023 campaign which is tied with Real Salt Lake for the best road team in all MLS.

The match will serve as the fourth time the two sides have met in MLS regular-season play. The Lions have won two out of the three meetings, with all games being separated by just one goal.

Quote of the Week:

"We are trying to be very economic on the efforts and the preparations. Sometimes you have more time and other games you have less. This time I think the boys recognize the rival and we are going to first recover them well and as I said, be clever on the way we manage their work loads, but we are good and ready."

-Head Coach Oscar Pareja
