The 2012 home opener is tomorrow and the team is off to a great start. Key players in Head Coach Adrian Heath’s system return for the match tomorrow while a very big crowd is expected on hand. It is set to be a very exciting season opener, so let’s get to it and go By The Numbers.

2 – Sean Kelley is only one of two goalkeepers in the young 2012 season to record a shutout. Pittsburgh’s Richard Hunter-Gilstrap is the other, not allowing a goal in a match against Antigua Barracuda FC. Miguel Gallardo will get the start on Sunday, returning from a suspension that carried over to the 2012 season from the 2011 championship match.

7,933 – Attendance number for Orlando’s first-ever home opener on April 9, 2011. The number was eclipsed during the 2011 playoffs when the Lions defeated the Kickers in the American Division Championship (8,304) and again in the USL PRO Championship (11,220).

5- Number of goals the Lions scored in their two matches against Hammerheads last season, which included a 4-2 victory in Wilmington and a 1-1 draw in Orlando. Orlando holds a 1-0-1 record against Wilmington all time.

6- 6 p.m. is the kickoff time for Sunday’s match - one of only two 6 p.m. kickoffs all season. The second falls on Sunday, June 17 against Antigua Barracuda FC at the Citrus Bowl.

1- Forward Head Coach Adrian Heath will most likely start with on Sunday. Max Griffin is healthy while Dennis Chin, the starter last week, scored one goal and is constantly improving for the Lions. Matt Luzunaris appeared late in Orlando’s last match, assisting a Kevin Molino goal in the closing minutes of the 2-0 win in Charlotte.
