Orlando City will kick off the first of two games in four days with a road trip to Nashville on Wednesday night, facing off against one of the Lions’ top competitors in the Eastern Conference.
Despite some earlier growing pains, Nashville (7-2-10, 31) has boosted itself into the top quarter of the Eastern Conference table. The team currently sits one point and one place ahead of the Lions (8-4-6, 30), who additionally hold a game in hand.
Wednesday night’s match poses an important hurdle for the Lions as they continue to chase a position in the Supporters Shield standings.
