Prediction: 2-0
DC United
Orlando City play host to DC United at their Exploria Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting MLS game. The Lions aim to build on a 2-1 win over Minnesota United, and they are surely capable of matching the capital club in front of home fans. Talented forward Duncan McGuire is pushing for a start after scoring a late winner against the Loons, while defender Michael Halliday remains on the sidelines with a thigh issue.
The visitors, meanwhile, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Montreal. DC United and Orlando City, though, seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and we predict that they are going to share the spoils in Sunday’s encounter. All Nigel Robertha, Derrick Williams, Brendan Hines-Ike, Martin Rodriguez, and Brad Smith should miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
