Prediction: 1-1
Orlando City
America First Field will host Sunday’s MLS game between Real Salt Lake and Orlando City, the two top-table sides. Real Salt Lake have been producing excellent displays of late, with the team winning three of their last league matches and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Orlando City. Julio Santos is pushing for a start after scoring a late winner against Toronto, while both Erik Holt and Zack Farnsworth remain in the treatment room.
The Lions, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Chicago Fire and Toronto. Orlando City have been producing excellent displays of late, but beating Real Salt Lake on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Both Adam Grinwis and Abdi Salim are sidelined with injuries, speaking of the away side.

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).
