The latest installment of Atlanta United vs. Orlando City arrives this afternoon, and while the spectator-less setting will be different, expect no love lost between these two sides.
In the past year since these teams last met, Orlando has gone through some major changes, and were able to put them on display at the recent MLS is Back Tournament. Hosting the bubble may have helped, sure, but their run to the finals where they were defeated by the Portland Timbers certainly put other teams on notice. A loss to Inter Miami and midweek win over Nashville since then, and the Lions are still wanting to prove their run was no fluke, something Atlanta will want to discredit and keep the unbeaten record alive.
