The action continues in MLS as Orlando City and Atlanta United go head-to-head at the Exploria Stadium on Saturday. Ronny Deila’s visitors are winless on the road this season, losing two of three matches.
Orlando played out a third consecutive stalemate last weekend, as they held Montreal to a goalless draw at the Saputo Stadium. Oscar Pareja’s side have gone six matches without defeat, winning two, since a 2-1 loss to New York City FC in March.
Orlando have 13 points from nine matches to sit seventh in the Eastern Conference, level on points with sixth-placed Nashville.
Meanwhile, Atlanta continue to struggle in the new campaign, as they fell to a 3-0 loss to 10-man Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park last time out. That followed a 1-0 defeat to Atlanta United at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium on April 12, which snapped their three-game unbeaten run.
Deila’s men won two of their opening nine matches, losing four, to collect nine points and sit 12th in the East, level on points with 13th-placed DC United.
