Match begins: 23:30 (UTC)
Venue: Orlando City Stadium (25527 seats)

Season ticket holders at Orlando City Stadium haven't seen too many victories this season, with Orlando City languishing in the 9th position so far. The guesting New England will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

This stadium uses grass, unlike New England's home stadium. The visitors last 33 games on grass have ended in 5 wins, 10 draws and 18 losses. New England have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
