Welcome to your match thread and preview for a Wednesday night match-up between Orlando City and New York City FC at Exploria Stadium. This will be the second and final scheduled meeting between the Lions (8-2-6, 30 points) and Pigeons (8-7-2, 26 points) this season (7:30 p.m., FOX 35 Plus).
History
The Lions are 6-5-4 in 15 meetings with NYCFC in the all-time series in MLS play and 6-5-5 including USOC play (remember, games that go to penalty shootouts in knockout competition are officially draws), so the series between the two 2015 expansion sides has proven to be a competitive one, even though the teams’ overall fortunes have been quite different.
