Orlando City and Atlanta United square off at 3 pm this Saturday inside Exploria Stadium in the 2021 home opener, presented by Orlando Health. Let’s break down the matchup by the numbers:
6 - Unbeaten run
Six times Orlando City has opened the MLS regular season at home, and six times the Lions have picked up at least one point. Famously, Orlando has never lost in the home opener, from Kaka’s dramatic equalizer against NYCFC in stoppage time in 2015 to coming back from 2-0 down to draw in both 2016 and 2019. The Lions also won their first-ever match at Exploria Stadium in 2017, downing NYCFC.
