Orlando City ready to face motivated Fort Lauderdale Strikers in U.S. Open Cup

Orlando City's lineup for its second U.S. Open Cup match will look very similar to its first.

The Lions plan to approach Wednesday's match against the Fort Lauderdale Strikers at Camping World Stadium with a mixed lineup consisting of MLS starters, backups and Orlando City B players.

The club signed OCB midfielder Tony Rocha to a short-term contract for the match. Rocha also was part of a similar lineup that helped Orlando City in its 1-0 U.S. Open Cup win over the Jacksonville Armada June 15.

"So, we'll give the players from the weekend a rest, but we will have three to four of them on the bench," Heath said of the MLS starters who delivered a 3-2 win against Toronto Saturday.
