Our prediction for this MLS match:
All eyes will be on Gillette Stadium when New England Revolution and Orlando City square off against each other in the Major League Soccer. The Revs have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating both Cincinnati and Atlanta United, while losing to both Columbus Crew and Seattle Sounders. New England are eyeing their fifth home win of the process, but Sunday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team.
Defender Xavier Arreaga serves a one-game ban, while all Mark-Anthony Kaye, Ema Boateng, Carles Gil, Peyton Miller, Tomas Chancalay, and Nacho Gil remain in the treatment room. The Lions, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Toronto FC and DC United. As Orlando City have been showing signs of improvement up front in recent weeks, both teams to score betting option should be considered. All Mason Stajduhar, Michael Halliday, and Tahir Reid-Brown remain on the sidelines with injuries.
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.
