It’s a festive night at Exploria Stadium as Orlando City hosts the Philadelphia Union. With all Orlando City representatives from the Gold Cup back and available for selection, James O’Connor had plenty of options at his disposal tonight.
In the back, Brian Rowe will start. Rowe’s clean sheet on Saturday was his fifth of the season and he’ll look to add another to that tally tonight.
In front of Rowe will be, Danilo Acosta, Robin Jansson, Lamine Sané and Ruan. After playing 1201 busy minutes this season, Ruan got a chance to recover on the bench on Saturday, but returns to the lineup tonight.
In the midfield, both Will Johnson and Sebas Méndez have retuned from the Gold Cup and will pair up with Sacha Kljestan.
Up top, it’s the familiar trio of Nani, Tesho Akindele, and Chris Mueller.
Starting XI presented by Orlando Health: Rowe, Acosta, Jansson, Sané, Ruan, Kljestan, Méndez, Johnson, Nani(C), Akindele, Mueller.
Bench: Ascues, Dwyer, Michel, Miller, O'Neill, Ranjitsingh, Smith.
