Orlando City SC (3-3-7, 16 points) will make their long awaited return to the pitch Saturday night, after a three week league-wide break for the Copa America Centenario. They will host the Western Conference’s San Jose Earthquakes (5-4-5, 20 points) in what will be an emotional night for the fans, players, and city of Orlando as a community due to it being the first major sporting event in Orlando since last Sunday’s tragic attack at an Orlando nightclub.
The Lions are coming off of a mid-week 1-0 victory over the Jacksonville Armada, in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup.
