Last weekend, Orlando ended a four-game losing trend by defeating Inter Miami 3-1, thanks to goals from Ercan Kara, Martin Ojeda, and Rafael Santos.
Oscar Pareja's team has one of the finest away records in the league, with 11 points from six games on the road so far this season.
The Lions, on the other hand, return to a familiar setting this weekend, where they have the poorest home record in the Eastern Conference, with only eight points from seven games, placing them sixth in the conference rankings.
The visitors shared the spoils with Chicago Fire in a tense 3-3 draw that saw both teams receive red cards.
They took the lead in the 29th minute through Andrew Gutman, but the sides went into the half-time break level after Juanjo Purata put the ball into his own net. Shortly after the resumption, Maren Haile-Selassie gave Chicago the lead before Giorgos Giakoumakis's brace looked to have secured all three points for Gonzalo Pineda's side.
However, Georgios Koutsias rescued a draw for the Fire with an 89th-minute equaliser.
