Orlando City is the best road team in Major League Soccer up to this point in the year, earning seven road victories and a total of 25 points during the 2023 campaign.

Orlando City goalkeeper Pedro Gallese kept his ninth regular-season clean sheet in the Lions' 3-0 win over Montréal, equaling his career-best from last season.

The match serves as the Lions' first trip to GEODIS Park and first trip to Nashville since the Audi 2021 MLS Cup Playoffs.
