The Story:

Orlando City holds an even 7-7-5 all-time record against Inter Miami across all competitions, underscoring the parity that has defined the Florida Derby since its inception in 2020. Captain Robin Jansson leads all active Lions in the series with 15 career appearances, anchoring the back line through multiple editions of the rivalry.

Homegrown forward Justin Ellis continues his breakout stretch after scoring his first MLS goal Saturday at D.C. United and adding a goal and an assist in Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup win. The 18-year-old has produced two goals and two assists across his first three starts in all competitions, emerging as a growing presence in Orlando's attack.

The Lions have seen increased production from younger players this season, including Ellis, Iago, Luís Otávio, Zakaria Taifi and Tiago all scoring their first goals for Orlando City. On April 22 in their 4-1 win over Charlotte FC, the Lions fielded their youngest average age in club history for an MLS regular-season match at 23.46 years old and the only match in club history with an average age below 24 years old.
