Orlando City will look to extend their undefeated home run to 12 games across all competitions when they host CF Montreal at the Exploria Stadium in Saturday's MLS action.
After a disappointing 1-1 draw against Inter Miami FC last time out, the hosts will be looking to return to winning ways and build momentum heading into the playoffs.
The Lions enter this game in second place in the MLS East Conference, and are on track to set a new record points haul for the regular season, with 51 points currently tied for the best in the club’s history.
On the flip side, Montreal have gone five games without a win and are currently sitting eighth in the East Conference, fighting to stay above the playoff line.
