Orlando City Aims for Second Straight Win on Road Against Nashville SC Orlando City, which secured its first victory under interim head coach Martin Perelman in its previous match, now faces a challenging road test against Nashville SC, a top-tier team in Major League Soccer. The Lions, currently sitting at 1-3-0 with three points, will take on Nashville at Geodis Park on Saturday at 6:15 p.m. The matchup presents an opportunity for Orlando to extend its winning streak and build momentum. Midfielder Braian Ojeda emphasized the team’s focus on improvement and positivity following their recent win. “We’ve been doing all the things that we have to do right now to try and get better,” he said. “We’re riding a high after that win, and we have to take that positivity forward. We’re doing everything this week to go into Nashville, try and take another victory, and keep doing what we’re doing to string together some wins.” Nashville SC, ranked among the league’s best teams, enters the game with a slight disadvantage after a grueling match against Inter Miami in the Concacaf Champions Cup on Wednesday. Key attackers like Cristian Espinoza and Sam Surridge, who played full 90 minutes against Miami, are likely to be rested for the encounter against Orlando. This could provide Orlando with a tactical edge, particularly given their struggles on defense. The Lions have conceded a league-worst 11 goals in their first four games, a concern that will be tested against Nashville’s formidable defense, which has allowed just two goals this season. Goalkeeper Brian Schwake, a standout performer, has been instrumental in maintaining the team’s defensive solidity.#nashville_sc #cristian_espinoza #orlando_city #martin_perelman #braian_ojeda
