After their Supporters Shield dreams were dealt a damaging blow in a last-minute loss at Inter Miami CF, Orlando City SC look to rebound against struggling rival Atlanta United Wednesday night at Exploria Stadium.
Orlando City SC (8W-3L-8D) had a 12-match unbeaten streak snapped with that loss in Fort Lauderdale and now the Lions are winless in their last four, dropping nine points behind Shield-leading Philadelphia with four games to play. Atlanta United (5W-11L-4D) are coming off a 2-1 defeat to D.C. United, their second consecutive defeat that stretched their winless run to five.
This is the fourth matchup this season with the Lions flipping the script in a rivalry dominated by the Five Stripes since Day One. The teams played to a draw in the last two games, with Orlando celebrating their first-ever victory over ATLUTD, 3-1 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium August 29.
