ORLANDO, Fla.- Orlando City SC (14-3-6, 48 points, USL PRO) takes on the Seattle Sounders Reserves (2-5- 1, 7 points, MLS Reserve League) on Sunday, August 11, at Fifth Third Bank Field at the Florida Citrus Bowl. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. as the Lions look to take back sole-possession of first place in the USL PRO league table with three games remaining in the season.

Orlando and Seattle have faced each other once this season, with the Lions coming up with the 2-0 victory in Tacoma, Wash., back in early May. Former on-loan striker Dom Dwyer scored a brace in the win, with Goalkeeper Miguel Gallardo earning the shutout.

The last time the two sides met, Seattle started first-teamers Steve Zakuani, John Kennedy Hurtado and first-round draft pick Eriq Zavaleta. Heath expects a strong lineup once again on Sunday, commenting on the challenge the Reserve side will bring to Central Florida.

“The last time we played them (Seattle), they played a good amount of their stronger players, and I expect nothing less on Sunday,” Heath continued. “They’re coming off a game in Toronto on Saturday so the players available from the night beforehand may get some playing time.”

Tickets for Sunday’s match against the Sounders Reserves will get you entry to the LEGOLAND® Florida theme park from August 12-August 26. Tickets can be used for LEGOLAND® Florida, not LEGOLAND® Water Park. For entry, bring your ticket stub from the August 11 match to the front gate. No copies and no exceptions.

The Lions captured home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs Wednesday night with a 3-2 victory over VSI Tampa Bay FC. The quarterfinal match will be on Saturday, August 24, at Fifth Third Bank Field at the Florida Citrus Bowl, with the opponent TBD.

The Lions currently sit atop the league table tied with the Richmond Kickers, who also have 48 points through 23 games played. The two teams play in Richmond on August 14, a game that may very well determine if Orlando will capture their third-straight USL PRO Regular Season Championship.
