Welcome to your match thread for a Wednesday night match-up between Orlando City (11-10-6, 39 points) and the Seattle Sounders (10-14-3, 33 points) at Exploria Stadium (7:30 p.m., FOX 35 Plus). It’s the only scheduled meeting between these cross-conference opponents.
Here’s what you need to know ahead of the game.
The Lions haven’t faced the Sounders since before the pandemic, which is good, because they are 0-4-1 against Seattle in the all-time series since the club joined MLS, and 0-2-0 at home. The last meeting between the sides was a 2-1 Sounders victory over a heavily rotated Orlando squad in Seattle on May 15, 2019.
