Orlando City will host Tigres at the Exploria Stadium on Wednesday in the first leg of their 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup last-16 clash.
The home side kicked off their continental campaign against Canadian outfit Cavalry last month, picking up a 3-0 win in the first leg, with Facundo Torres scoring a brace. They then beat the Cavs 3-1 in the second leg of the fixture with three different players getting on the scoresheet including Nicolas Lodeiro, who scored his first-ever goal for the club.
Orlando City were thrashed 5-0 by Lionel Messi's Inter Miami in their league game at the weekend and will be desperate to put out a response on Wednesday.
