New England will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the table

Orlando City host New England at the Exploria Stadium in the MLS on Monday, with both sides having strong seasons so far.

Orlando City are currently fourth in the Eastern Conference table. However, Oscar Pareja's side have faltered of late, winning only two of their last eight league games. It will be a huge ask for them to be able to take anything away from the game.

League leaders New England have dominated the Eastern Conference this season and are currently 20 points clear at the top of the table. Bruce Arena's side are unbeaten in their last eight league games and will look to continue their excellent form with a win against Orlando on Monday.

Sights on Sunday 😤

Both sides will want to win for different reasons and that should make Monday's game an exciting contest.


Orlando City vs New England Head-to-Head

New England came away as 2-1 winners when the two sides met earlier this season. Daryl Dike canceled out Adam Buksa's early opener. However, a first-half own-goal by Rodrigo Schlegel was enough to secure all three points on the night.
