- Time: 11:30 PM UTC
- Location: Inter&Co Stadium, Orlando, USA
Game Overview
Orlando City SC, currently 5th in the Eastern Conference with 34 points, faces CF Montréal, 15th in the standings. Orlando is unbeaten in their last three away matches but winless in their last two overall. Both teams have had competitive recent form, but Orlando is favored due to their higher league position and home advantage. However, Orlando will be missing starting goalkeeper Pedro Gallese and defender Robin Jansson due to suspension, which could impact their defensive solidity.
Key Factors to Consider
- Orlando City: 5th in Eastern Conference (34 points), unbeaten in last three away, but last two matches were winless. CF Montréal: 15th in standings, lower form. Orlando has better attack (39 goals for vs. 29 for Montréal), but both teams are inconsistent defensively (Orlando conceded 40, Montréal conceded 18 fewer, but context suggests Montréal has been less consistent overall).
- Limited recent head-to-head data, but Orlando City has historically been competitive with Montréal. Each team has had their share of wins in past encounters.
- Orlando City will be missing Pedro Gallese (GK) and Robin Jansson (DEF) due to suspension for yellow card accumulation. This weakens their defensive setup for this match.
- The match is a 'Military Appreciation Night' at home for Orlando, which could boost fan support and team motivation. Additionally, the home field advantage at Inter&Co Stadium is significant for Orlando.
- Orlando is motivated to solidify its playoff position and regain winning ways, especially after a recent disappointing draw against Charlotte. Montréal is likely pushing to climb out of the lower standings, but their form has been inconsistent.
