The Story:
The Lions face yet another quick turnaround from the midweek, making the short trip south to face intrastate rivals Inter Miami CF.
City has had the slight edge throughout the Florida Derby's existence, taking four victories compared to the Herons' three.
Throughout the course of the rivalry, nine of the 10 meetings between the two clubs have been decided by one goal or less.
Defender Robin Jansson enters the weekend one match away from becoming Orlando City's all-time regular season games played leader, set to pass Chris Mueller. The two are currently even at 112 MLS appearances each, with Jansson already the club's all-time leader in appearances in all competitions, minutes played, and MLS matches started.
Quote of the Week:
"We always have the responsibility to win. Miami is a team that is also trying to find their best form at this point of the season like many others, including us. They are players that we recognize, some of them young, the other ones have more experience in the league. It's very level the league in that aspect, but we recognize in the details what their strengths and their weaknesses are. At this point, we're trying to find our best form.
