How to watch, time, as NYCFC heads to theme park capital to face Orlando City
Orlando is known as the theme park capital of the world, and one of the main theme parks there is Disney World. While its sister park in California, Disneyland, is known as the happiest place on Earth, one can say something similar about Orlando. With all of the theme parks and things to do around the area, it is truly a place full of joy and happiness. But can New York City FC find joy in Orlando?
It will be a difficult task since Orlando City SC is having a little bit better of a season compared to the Pigeons. The Lions sit in seventh place in the Eastern Conference with 41 points. They have suffered more losses than the Bronx side, but sit higher in the table thanks to having 12 wins, which is four more than the visitors. Plus, the team is stronger with Antoine Griezmann on the roster. It is not a complete fix, as the team has had mixed results, but he definitely makes Orlando more threatening.
In addition, it is vital that the team and the fans remember that it has been almost a full season since NYCFC last faced the Florida side. They met in early March, and arguably, that was the best match of the season for the Pigeons. They dominated the game, winning 5-0. The probability of that happening again is slim, especially since the Bronx side has only won once in their last 13 fixtures.
Hence, as much as NYCFC needs to win, it is difficult to believe that they will do so. However, a draw might be possible. But at this point, really, a good performance by the Pigeons might be all that the supporters can hope for.
