The stage is set for a dramatic finish to Orlando City B’s 2017 regular season on Thursday night. With the young Lions just one point out of the playoff picture and three teams that they could potentially pass during the final week, it’s a must-win scenario. They will still need some help from any of New York Red Bulls II after losing at home last week, Bethlehem Steel, or FC Cincinnati, but none of that matters without three points on Thursday night.
The team’s do-or-die match naturally happens to be at home against the arch-rival Tampa Bay Rowdies, who have already clinched their postseason berth and sit third in the Eastern Conference.
