The Story:
Orlando City B will travel to Eastern Conference opposition Chattanooga FC on Saturday, with the Lions trailing Chattanooga for first place by six points.
Saturday’s matchup between Orlando City B and Chattanooga FC will be the first ever meeting between the two sides and OCB’s first trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee, as a member of MLS NEXT Pro. Chattanooga FC began play this season, joining MLS NEXT Pro as one of eight expansion teams for the 2024 season.
The Lions have spent four of their first five matches to start their 2024 campaign as the away team, with their one “home” match being played at IMG Academy as a neutral-site matchup at Generation adidas Cup. Of those four road matches, Orlando City B was able to take at least a point away from each matchup, taking a win over Atlanta United 2 and Crown Legacy, and securing the extra point at Huntsville City FC via the end-of-regulation shootout.
