If you’re a fan of goals, Orlando City’s match with Sporting Kansas City on Saturday probably isn’t the game for you. SKC has only allowed five goals through 10 matches this year — the best average in the league — and that’s after it allowed two to Minnesota United this past weekend. It’s no coincidence that Kansas City’s matches this year have been dogfights that often come down to a single goal.
The same has been true of Orlando City, which only has a single win by multiple goals and has relied on its defense to absorb pressure until the offense can break through.
