Breaking Down the XI: Small Adjustments

Small Adjustments

After a successful road trip to Philadelphia last week, Jason Kreis will roll out a lineup today that resembles what the team looked like at the end of that match.


Chris Mueller and Stéfano Pinho will start again on the wings. The injection of energy paid dividends last week and neither did anything to jeopardize their starting spots for this match.


Cristian Higuita, who came off the bench for an injured RJ Allen last week, played well enough to earn the start this week. Will Johnson will play at right back where he finished the game last week with Higuita patrolling the defensive midfield. Higuita will pass Kaká in all-time Orlando City MLS appearances with the start.


Offseason acquisition Uri Rosell will make his second consecutive appearance on the bench. Look for him to possibly get his first minutes as a Lion tonight.


Starting XI presented by Orlando Health: Bendik, El-Munir, Tarek, Sané, Johnson, Higuita, Yotún, Pinho, Kljestan, Mueller, Dwyer.


Bench: Powers, Meram, Colmán, Rosell, Toia, Allen, Edwards Jr.
