Welcome to your match thread for this weekend’s match-up between Orlando City (6-5-1, 19 points) and New York City FC (7-3-3, 24 points) at Yankee Stadium. It’s the second of three scheduled meetings between the two 2015 MLS expansion rivals this season, and the second of two in the Bronx. NYCFC will come to Orlando City Stadium on July 26 to close out the regular-season series.
The Lions start a three-match MLS road trip and the first of four straight away from home in all competitions. The Lions are 2-2-0 on the road this year and have actually won their last two games outside the Sunshine State — at Colorado and Philadelphia.
