All eyes will be on Sports Illustrated Stadium when New York Red Bulls and Orlando City go head-to-head in an exciting MLS showdown. The hosts are desperate to end a two-game losing run after defeats to Philadelphia Union and Charlotte FC, but they will have to cope without suspended trio Mehmeti, Ruvalcaba, and Valencia. New York have struggled to find consistency in recent weeks, collecting just 11 points from their last ten league matches while failing to keep a single clean sheet. Their games have been highly entertaining, averaging 3.6 goals per match, with both teams scoring in 70% of those encounters.
Orlando City, meanwhile, arrive in New Jersey in excellent spirits after recording back-to-back victories over San Jose Earthquakes and Nashville. The Lions have won six of their last ten league games and continue to impress in the final third, averaging 2.6 goals per match during that spell. Although Miller and Ojeda remain doubts, Oscar Pareja's side possess enough attacking firepower to trouble a Red Bulls defence that has looked vulnerable throughout the season. With Orlando enjoying better form and the hosts missing several key players through suspension, the visitors look well placed to continue their winning run.
Orlando City head into the match on the back of consecutive victories, while New York have lost their last two league games. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (Both teams have been involved in high-scoring games recently, with New York averaging 3.6 total goals and Orlando 4.8 over their last ten outings).
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 2 August 2026 at 00:30.
