Our prediction for this MLS match:
Red Bull Arena will host Sunday’s football game between New York Red Bulls and Orlando City, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Eastern Conference. New York Red Bulls aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Inter Miami, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Tom Barlow, who scored the winner in the midweek clash, is pushing for a start, while all Omir Fernandez, Steven Sserwadda, and Serge Ngoma are out of contention through injuries.
The Lions, on the other hand, aim to extend their unbeaten run to five games. New York Red Bulls and Orlando City seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Gaston Gonzalez and Luca Petrasso should be the only absentees in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Orlando City):

Orlando City are a member of the Eastern Conference in Major League Soccer. The Lions have been participating in the major league since 2015 and they host their rivals at Orlando City Stadium. The venue was opened in February, 2017 and the construction of the stadium cost $155 million. Orlando City finished the 2015 MLS season in seventh place in the Eastern Conference and they failed to make it to the play-offs in the 2016 season as well (8th place).
Brazilian ace Kaka is undisputedly the club’s most famous player and the former Real Madrid and Milan man became the highest-paid player in MLS history. His base salary was $6.6 million per year and it has to be noted that the Brazilian superstar found the net on his Orlando City debut against FC Dallas (friendly). Orlando City’s home kit is violet, while they wear white and violet shirts and white socks on the travels. The club’s official mascot is Kingston the Lion.
