Our prediction for this MLS match:
Yankee Stadium will host Saturday’s MLS game between New York City and Orlando City. The Blue Pigeons aim to put an end to their three-game losing run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Lions. Both Carlos Coronel and Lewis Morgan are on international duties, while the likes of Kyle Duncan, Emil Forsberg, Peter Stroud, Roald Mitchell, and Serge Ngoma remain in the recovery room.
Orlando City, on the other hand, aim to build on a 4-2 win over Chicago Fire. The Lions, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on New York City. You should know that the Blue Pigeons scored nine goals in total in the previous three home games. The likes of David Brekalo, Wilder Cartagena, and Pedro Gallese are on international duty, 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.
