Viernes de Fútbol returns. The Eastern Conference clash between Orlando City and the New England Revolution is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Univision Deportes.
What They're Saying
Orlando City captain Kaka (via MLS): "I don't know what it is here, but we can't score at the moment. It is difficult when teams come here [to Orlando] and defend, but we must find a way. We also made a lot of mistakes. Now, we need to work hard to convert this anxious thing into a positive thing."
New England Revolution manager Jay Heaps: "Not only does he [Charlie Davies] have the ability to stretch the game and create some space for players underneath and also our wingers, but he's an emotional leader in there. I don't think he gets enough credit for how he keeps the group together and how he handles the game."
The In-Form Player
Injury will force Brek Shea further up the pitch on Friday. In seven appearances this season, the 25-year-old is completing 82 percent of his passes and created seven total chances.
Projected Lineups
Orlando City's (4-2-3-1): Ricketts; Boden, Collin, Hines, Ramos; Ceren, Okugo; Shea, Kaka, Avila; Rochez
New England Revolution's (4-2-3-1): Shuttleworth; Tierney, Farrell, Jones, Woodberry; Dorman, Caldwell; Agudelo, Rowe, Bunbury; Davies
