“We played them here in the preseason so we know most of their players. Most of them have played in the MLS at some stage so we know quite a bit about them. We’ve watched the last couple of games on tape and they’re going to be highly motivated because the fact is they’re playing Orlando City,” Lions Head Coach Adrian Heath said.
