Orlando City realizes it cannot get itself into a hole Wednesday night as the team hosts New England in a Round of 16 match during the 2019 U.S. Open Cup.
“They’ll definitely pose a challenge to us,” Orlando City midfielder Sacha Kljestan said of New England prior to a training session Tuesday morning. “In the MLS, if you take things lightly or your mentality drops, it can be tough to get yourself out of a hole, so we don’t want to get into a hole against New England.”
Back in February, the Lions (5-7-3, 18 points) defeated the Revolution 6-2 during a friendly.
