After a 1-0 loss in Toronto, Orlando City B (4-5-4, 16 points) plays the second of two matches in the Canadian “School Day Games,” as it takes on Ottawa (4-4-4, 16 points) this morning. Both teams are currently below the playoff line through goal differential. A win for either team will push it up the table to at least sixth place.
“[Ottawa Fury] is very direct, very athletic, they’re very powerful,” OCB Head Coach Anthony Pulis said. “They get the ball forward early and they cause you problems if you don’t defend long balls well so it’s important that we’re going to have to defend those long balls and direct play well, be organized and hopefully we can cause them some problems in the counter attack.
