Orlando City SC are at a critical stage in the season. Not only do the Lions find themselves six points out from a playoff spot; they are also on the verge of making the club’s first U.S. Open Cup Final appearance. This antithesis is an apt representation of Orlando’s 2019 season as a whole.
The club has shown flashes of brilliance at times but has never managed to do so on a consistent basis. Following back-to-back defeats to the New York Red Bulls and the New England Revolution, Orlando City SC have the important opportunity to regain some lost momentum when FC Dallas come to town on Saturday evening.
