Prediction: 1-1
New York City FC
A place in the MLS playoffs quarter-finals will be at stake when Orlando City and New York City go head to head at Exploria Stadium on Saturday. Orlando City finished the regular season in fourth position in the standings, six points behind Eastern Conference leaders Philadelphia, and, no doubt, they are capable of matching New York City at home ground. Dom Dwyer and Joao Moutinho are the only absentees in the home team ahead of Saturday’s clash.
Ronny Deila’s troops, on the other hand, finished the regular season in style, with the team recording a win in each of their last four league fixtures. New York City have been scoring goals for fun of late, and given Orlando City’s attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Heber, Sands, and Zelalem are injured for the visitors, while Gray has been quarantined.
