Prediction: 1-2
Orlando City
Out-of-form Nashville will look to put an end to their four-game losing run when they face Orlando City on Thursday morning. Nashville suffered a dip in form, but they are still sitting in the playoffs berth. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, while the likes of Anibal Godoy, Julian Gaines, Lucas MacNaughton, and Randall Leal remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Lions, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team extending their winning run to three games at New England and they must be high on confidence ahead of the trip to Nashville. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the visiting team. Duncan McGuire is back from the international duty, while both Mason Stajduhar and Michael Halliday continue to miss out with injuries, speaking of the visiting 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.
