Prediction
Orlando City SC 2, New York City FC 1
Moneyline (ML)
ORLANDO CITY SC (+310) is the play here. While there are no fans in the stands, Orlando City is the “home” team in the Central Florida bubble. OCSC scratched out a 2-1 win against Inter Miami in the first game of the tournament last Wednesday, notching a goal at 90’+7 to stun its Sunshine State rivals and anger anyone who had an “Under” ticket. New York City FC (-118) is favored in this one, but it’s a curious line considering it has been blanked 1-0 in each of its first three matches this season. To make matters worse, Moralez went out in the opening match of the tourney with a quad injury and is out indefinitely.
A winning $10 wager on Orlando City SC (+310) to win outright nets a return profit of $31. A $10 wager on New York City FC (-118) to win would net a profit of just $8.47, while a Draw or Tie (+280) would fetch a $28 profit.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 2.5 (-154) has not been a frequent play in this tournament so far, and the only reason Orlando’s first match went over was the late-game heroics to sink Miami. Playing the Over in a match featuring a team with a goose egg in the “goals for” column is risky, but New York should finally find the back of the net against Orlando. Plus, OCSC showed it has a little bit of offensive punch against Miami in last week’s opener.
