For the third time this season and the first time in Orlando, Orlando City and the Philadelphia Union will square off. The Union will arrive into Orlando City Stadium flying high, having won their past four matches in the league and five overall, including their Open Cup semifinal victory over the Chicago Fire. The Union also dispatched the Lions from the Cup competition the last time these two teams met.
Orlando City has recently started trending younger as the season draws to a close, taking a page from a Union playbook that has paid dividends after giving young players minutes early and often in 2018.
