Orlando City is set for their third match of the season as they take on the Montreal Impact at Orlando City Stadium.
With a handful of players regaining fitness, James O’Connor has made a handful of changes to his starting 11.
Dom Dwyer, after entering as a substitute in his first two matches of 2019, will get his first start of the young season. Dwyer has recorded a goal and assist in limited minutes. He’ll pair up top with Nani who is making his second start of the year.
In the midfield five, O’Connor has deployed a new pair of wingbacks. Chris Mueller will join the attack from the left and Ruan, returning from injury, will regain his spot on the right.
In the back, Carlos Ascues will play his first minutes of the season. Ascues has recovered from an injury suffered in preseason and looks ready to anchor the backline.
In goal Brian Rowe will get his third consecutive start.
Starting XI: Rowe, Acosta, Ascues, O’Neill, Mueller, Méndez, Kljestan, Johnson, Ruan, Nani (C), Dwyer.
Bench: Ranjitsingh, De John, Smith, Rosell, Higuita, Colmán, Patiño
