Following a miserable run of four straight defeats, Toronto will be desperate to stop the rot when entertaining Orlando at BMO Field.
City’s form has been up and down this season, but they are also on a recovery mission here after last Saturday’s heavy loss at Montreal.
Both sides may just settle for a share of the spoils to steady the ship, so 3.3 for a draw is our first Toronto FC vs Orlando City prediction.
Toronto FC Odds
Toronto have slipped down to 12th in the Eastern Conference after faltering badly since a promising spring sequence that yielded 10 points from four outings.
The Reds were more than a touch unlucky when going down 1-0 at Vancouver last time out, though.
Jayden Nelson appeared to have put them in front on 66 minutes when pouncing on a rebound but was wrongly adjudged to have kicked the ball out of the keeper’s hands.
To compound that poor decision, the Whitecaps snatched a last-gasp decider through Tosaint Ricketts.
Getting back to BMO Field will be a boost, as Toronto claimed three straight wins here before last month’s 2-1 loss to Cincinnati.
The Reds have netted in every home match this term, so Toronto FC vs Orlando City odds.
Orlando City Odds
Orlando are fourth in the East, six points better off, having recently enjoyed a nice run of three wins from four MLS fixtures.
City were brought back down to earth with a bump when bashed 4-1 by Montreal, though.
Joao Moutinho kept them in contention with a 72nd-minute strike but two late goals ended any hopes of a fightback.
Oscar Pareja is having to contend with some injuries at the back, but that was still a poor display by the Lions.
Orlando were also badly out of sorts when beaten 3-0 at home by New York Red Bulls last month, so a bit more consistency would certainly be welcome.
City did at least secure a 2-1 cup win over Philadelphia in midweek and fared well against Toronto last season, posting two narrow victories and a 1-1 draw at this venue.
Assessing the recent exploits of both teams, 6.75 for a repeat of that last scoreline is worth adding to our Toronto FC vs Orlando City betting tips.
