Why Bet on Orlando City?
It’s been a great tournament so far for Orlando City. With 33 points, they sit fifth in the Eastern Conference—seven points off the lead and just three behind their upcoming opponent, who is in second place.
They’ve recorded nine wins, six draws, and four losses. With 36 goals, they boast the best attack in the league alongside their neighbors, Inter Miami, although Lionel Messi’s team has played three fewer matches.
After a 12-game unbeaten run in MLS, Orlando went through a brief slump with back-to-back losses, but they’ve bounced back by defeating Colorado Rapids 0-1 and St. Louis City 2-4 on Wednesday.
Marco Pasalic scored a brace to bring his season total to eight goals, while Ramiro Enrique also netted twice and now has four. The team’s top scorer is Martín Ojeda, with nine.
At home, they’ve dropped some points—winning five, drawing two, and losing two. Injured players include Joran Gerbet, Wilder Cartagena, and Duncan McGuire, while 20-year-old defender Alexander Freeman is away with the U.S. national team for the Gold Cup. Argentine defender Rodrigo Schlegel is eligible to return after serving a suspension.
Why Bet on FC Cincinnati?
FC Cincinnati is also having a great season. They sit second in the East with 36 points, having recorded 11 wins, three draws, and five losses, scoring 29 goals and conceding 25.
Just like their upcoming opponent, they went through a short, rough patch with two draws and two losses. Still, they’ve bounced back with a 0-1 win over New England Revolution and a 1-3 victory over Montréal, with a brace from Evander and a goal from Luca Orellano.
As usual, they’ve scored relatively few goals—the lowest among the top seven teams in the conference—but that’s nothing new for them. What is surprising, however, is the number of goals they’ve conceded: 25. Their top scorer is Togolese striker Kévin Denkey, who has 11 goals but recently had a three-game scoring streak snapped.
They’re strong on the road, with six wins, one draw, and four losses. Alongside Philadelphia Union, they’ve earned the most away points (19), although Union did it in nine games while Cincinnati needed 11.
Coach Pat Noonan will be without key players like Nick Hagglund due to injury while Miles Robinson is away playing in the Gold Cup.
