Numbers that matter • Home fortress – The Lions have lost just once in their last 14 competitive matches in downtown Orlando, posting eight clean sheets. • Cross-border history – Orlando are 2-0-1 all-time versus Liga MX opposition, while Atlas have never beaten an MLS side on U.S. soil. • Tiebreaker watch – Goal differential is the first tiebreaker; both clubs sit at minus-1, amplifying every strike.
