SANFORD, Fla. — The stage is set for one of the most important six-point swings of the season for Orlando City as the Lions host the New England Revolution on Saturday.
Sitting in the No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference, New England currently holds the last ticket into the postseason. The two teams are separated by four points, meaning a win would pull Orlando City one point away from a playoff position. A loss, however, would swing the team in the opposite position — not necessarily knocking Orlando City out of playoff contention, but forcing the Lions to hope they swept the remainder of their matches while other key teams suffered losses.
