The Lions picked up two home wins last week with a 4-0 win on the Fourth of July over Toronto FC and a 3-1 win last Saturday against the Chicago Fire.

Orlando has the same squad available Saturday against RSL they had last weekend, so barring any mid-week knocks, expect Oscar Pareja to put out the same lineup he had against Toronto FC.

Rookie Duncan McGuire continues to perform at a high level, with a goal last Saturday and tied for the team lead in goals with Facundo Torres at seven goals for the season.
