Looking to avoid back-to-back losses to the newest teams in the MLS, Orlando City attempts to right themselves Wednesday night at the expense of goal-starved Nashville SC.
The Lions (2-2-2) were denied a second Florida derby victory over expansion side Inter Miami, falling 3-2 on the road Sunday. Rookie Daryl Dike scored his first MLS goal, and Nani provided late hope Orlando City could steal a point and spoil the home debut of the Herons, but the early defensive lapses proved too much to overcome.
"Tonight's game we'll go with the sour of knowing we weren't sharp in our defensive third as a group," Orlando City manager Oscar Pareja told the club's official website.
