In the 2022 Major League Soccer action this weekend, Orlando City will lock horns with FC Dallas at the Exploria Stadium on Saturday.
Orlando are enjoying a decent spell at the moment. They were held to a 2-2 draw by Austin FC last time out in a highly tense clash at the Q2 Stadium that saw the Lions squander a two-goal lead and end the game with nine men.
Orlando are third in the Eastern Conference standings with 21 points from 13 games. They will look to pick up maximum points this weekend as they return to league action on home turf after three games on the road.
Dallas, meanwhile, began their campaign very strongly, losing just one of their first 11 games across competitions but have struggled for results recently. They were beaten 2-1 by Minnesota United in their last game, with Paul Arriola's goal in the second half proving to be a consolation strike.
The visitors have picked up 22 points from 13 games and sit third in the Western Conference standings, four points behind Los Angeles FC at the top of the table. They will now look to shake off their latest result and return to winning ways this weekend.
