What to know about Orlando City SC

Orlando City is in its ninth season in Major League Soccer. The Lions have made three playoff appearances (2020-22) and collected their first trophy in last year's U.S. Open Cup. The team currently sits in fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

The team has its own in-form goal-scorer in Duncan McGuire, who netted two goals in Leagues Cup play. McGuire — the sixth overall selection in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft out of Creighton — has eight goals and two assists in 19 games played (nine starts). Facundo Torres is dynamic on the wings and will ask questions of the Miami defense. Looking to keep Messi from scoring goals will be Pedro Gallese, a Peru national team player who is one of the league's top goalkeepers.

In the Leagues Cup, Orlando City produced a dramatic moment of its own in a 3-2 win over Liga MX's Santos Laguna.
