DC United look forward to clash heads with Orlando City in this Major League Soccer game. All you must learn about the game is located here!

Orlando City have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the CONCACAF Champions League. That game, against Tigres UANL, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Orlando City.
