Welcome to your match thread for a Wednesday evening match-up between Orlando City and the New England Revolution in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 16. This is the first meeting between the two MLS Eastern Conference rivals this season, with league games coming up on Saturday, July 27 at Gillette Stadium and Saturday, Sept. 14 at Exploria Stadium.
Both teams have won their past two matches — one each in the U.S. Open Cup and in MLS.
The Lions are 2-3-4 in the all-time series against New England and 2-0-3 at home, but the teams have never met in USOC play.
