A promising middle of the season pushed Orlando City into second in the Eastern Conference playoff race. But a miserable two months on the pitch since Brek Shea's injury has the Lions looking up at all six playoff spots after New England's 3-0 demolition of City at Gillette Stadium on Saturday night.

But hope springs eternal and the Lions come home with reinforcements against former Orlando City striker Dom Dwyer and Sporting Kansas City. 

We break down the action from Saturday night and give you our Man of the Match (spoiler: it was Tally Hall). We also look ahead to Sunday's showdown with Sporting KC with the help of Thad Bell of The Blue Testament, SB Nation's SKC blog. Thad weighs in on Dom, Aurelien Collin, Amobi Okugo and more.

And there's always our predictions segment, where we beg you not to take our prognostications to your local bookie.

Here's how it went down:

0:27- Michael and Daniel review the New England Revolution game, with what went right and what went very wrong. And Tally Hall is amazing.

20:03- Thad Bell jumps on to give us the Sporting KC point of view on all things.

37:05- Our key match-ups for Sunday and final score predictions.
