- Orlando enters the game currently on a three-game win streak at home, with victories against Racing Louisville, the Washington Spirit and the Portland Thorns in that stretch.
- The Current come into the weekend having dropped their last two results in league play and currently sit at the bottom of the table.

Quote of the Week:
“[We’re] just looking to bounce back from last week’s performance and result. We’ve shown good form at home in front of our own fans and we have to continue to do that. We have to put the effort in and the energy that the fans give us and ultimately get another three points at home.”
- Head Coach Seb Hines
