The Story:

Orlando City enters its match against Atlanta United FC with an all-time record of 6W-12L-7D, a reflection of the familiarity that has defined this Eastern Conference rivalry. At home in Central Florida, the Lions are 4W-7L-3D against the Five Stripes across all competitions.

Orlando City has surged offensively in recent weeks, scoring 18 goals over its last six matches in all competitions. That total leaves the Lions one goal shy of the club record for goals in a six-match span, set at 19 from June 22 to July 17, 2024. Orlando City will look to carry that momentum into its next match as the attack continues to find its rhythm in the final third.

Martín Ojeda continued his strong run of form in Wednesday's match against the Philadelphia Union, scoring his eighth and ninth goals of the 2026 season to bring his Orlando City all-time total to 42 across all competitions. The Argentine now sits two goals shy of Cyle Larin for second place on the club's all-time scoring list and is closing in on Facundo Torres' club record of 47. Ojeda's nine goals in league play this season are tied for third-most in MLS. Current Form:
