New York City welcome Orlando City to Yankee Stadium looking to build on a 2-1 win over Philadelphia. As Orlando made a slow start to the season, we predict a 2-1 home win. Despite several injury concerns, with Jones, Martinez, and Perea all sidelined, the hosts have been competitive at the start of the season. Generally, New York City average 1.30 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per match, while their games produce 2.60 goals on average. Their expected goals figure of 1.34 suggests the attack is creating steady chances.
Orlando City, meanwhile, are enduring a difficult spell. The Lions have lost five matches in a row and head into this clash after a 4-2 defeat to Inter Miami. They average 1.40 goals scored but concede as many as 2.20 per game, which explains their struggles. Interestingly, Orlando matches are very open, with both teams scoring in 100% of their recent games and an average of 3.60 total goals. The visitors will also be without banned midfielder Colin Guske, which could further weaken their midfield stability.
As Orlando are on a five-game losing streak (including last season games) and concede too many goals, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside Both Teams to Score (71% H2H), and Over 2.5 goals (54%).
This MLS match will be played on Saturday 7 March 2026 at 19:30.
