This year it’s different.
The start of the season couldn’t have gone much better for the Lions, who have won five of their first six matches for a total of fifteen points. They’ve proven that they can win games on the road and at home. They can score goals early and maintain leads. They can come back when facing adversity.
Compare that to the last two seasons. In 2015 and 2016, it took Orlando City twelve matches to get to fifteen points. This year they’ve done that in half that time.
What does that mean? It’s hard to say.
