Orlando City eager to give home fans win over Atlanta United

A week ago, Orlando City notched a personal milestone the club has chased for years — beating Atlanta United for the first time.

The Lions didn’t just pick up the win. They beat their rival soundly, claiming a 3-1 victory on Atlanta’s home turf. A week later, Orlando City (4-2-3, 15) returns home Saturday to defend their Exploria Stadium in a rivalry rematch. Kickoff is at 8 p.m. and the match will air nationally on FOX (WOFL-35).

Orlando City will again allow a limited number of fans to attend the game due to coronavirus precautions. The Lions feel an obligation to reward the fans when they face Atlanta (3-4-1, 10) again.
