Orlando City will take the pitch once more against one of its longest rivals in Friday night’s match against Atlanta United.
The game will pitch two teams together who are facing off on opposite sides of their typical dynamic — Orlando City vying for one of the top two spots in the Eastern Conference while Atlanta United tries to avert a fall toward the bottom of the conference standings.
Despite a four-game point differential between the two sides, the game catches the Lions at a critical crux of the season as they battle with recent losses and player injuries.
