Toronto FC II will make their first trip to the Titan Soccer Complex to take on Orlando City B this Saturday at 7:30 PM ET. The Young Reds will look to carry the momentum from their last victory into the match.
This will be the first ever meeting between the two clubs. Orlando currently occupies the eighth and final playoff position in the eastern conference. Toronto FC II sits just 5 points behind.
The Young Reds must come back home with a result on Saturday if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive. “This is going to be a very important match vs. Orlando,” Said Raheem Edwards, “ We have to go there and win nothing but three points.
TFC II will be without their head coach for the match in Orlando. Coach Jason Bent received a red card in the team’s last game vs. Bethlehem. “I had to try and stand up for my players, if I had to do it again I would do the exact same thing. “ said Bent on Tuesday.
Orlando City B will be coming into the match with a lot of confidence after defeating the first place Louisville City FC 2-1 last weekend. The baby lions are unbeaten in their last eight matches with three wins and five draws.
