Orlando City and Philadelphia Union go head-to-head at the Exploria Stadium in the round of 32 of the US Open Cup on Tuesday.
The visitors are currently winless in each of their last four league outings and will be looking to end that dry spell in the cup.

They have now lost two of their last three outings, scoring three goals and conceding eight in that time.
They have now turned their attention to the US Open Cup, where they kicked off their title hunt with a 2-1 victory over Tampa Bay Rowdies on April 21.

They have now failed to win any of their last four games, picking up three draws and losing one in that time.
Philadelphia Union currently sit at the top of the Eastern Conference table after picking up 19 points from 10 MLS games.
