Prediction: 1-1
Orlando City
DC United will look to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Columbus Crew when they face Orlando City on Sunday morning. The capital club continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, and they are surely capable of matching the Lions at their Audi Field. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Jacob Greene, Martin Rodriguez, Brendan Hines-Ike, and Brad Smith remain in the recovery room.
Meanwhile, the visitors have been impressive at the back at the start of the season, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive clean sheet in all competitions. Since DC United are tough to beat at home, under 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. Both Antonio Carlos and Favian Loyola remain on the sidelines with injuries, while Jack Lynn faces race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s encounter.
