It’s showtime, folks. Atlanta United take on Orlando City once again, this time for a spot in the U.S. Open Cup final. This is the first time the two southeastern combatants will face each other outside of MLS play.
Despite the fact that the Lions have yet to defeat Atlanta in seven times of trying, they aren’t exactly a pushover this season. Orlando have already surpassed last year’s feeble points total of 28 and are in decent position to fight for their first playoff berth in their MLS history, sitting in 9th spot, four points below the red line.
