Welcome to your match thread for tonight’s match-up between Orlando City (8-10-7, 31 points) and the Vancouver Whitecaps (10-9-5, 35 points). This is the only meeting between the two teams this season. It will be Brek Shea’s first visit to Orlando as a member of the opposing side as he and Giles Barnes of the Lions will be going up against their old teams for the first time since being traded for one another prior to the season.
The Lions are 0-1-1 in the all-time series against Vancouver and this will be the third different Orlando City coach to face the Whitecaps in three MLS seasons.
