New York City vs Orlando City tips and predictions

New York City odds don't appeal

Orlando City might surprise the hosts here but it would be a big shock. They are genuine outsiders so this isn't a confident prediction.

The hosts have not always excelled in some of their latest outings. New York City are struggling to find form. They have lost their last 3 matches and will be desperate to press the reset button.

Orlando City have actually secured the win in 10 of their last 20 away matches. Many of these results have been summarised by how clinical they can be in front of goal. They've scored two or more goals in 7 of their last 13 away fixtures and to have any chance of success they'll be desperate to add to that strike rate. In defence they have also posted some good numbers. They've kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 16 away matches. If the visitors put everything together they might just do this.

They can pinch something here even if the win seems like fantasy stuff. Perhaps it's more likely that the visitors come away having shared the spoils. The sportsbooks are predicting goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for New York City. It isn't a strong view and it might not be that exciting but the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting on this occasion.
