Prediction

Orlando City SC 2, Montreal Impact 1

Moneyline (ML)

ORLANDO CITY SC (+100) is even-money in this one. Who woulda thunk it? Not much was expected of the purple-clad group, even if they are considered the unofficial “home” team in the Central Florida bubble.

They looked championship caliber in the group stages, going 2-0-1 with a plus-3 goal differential. They played a hard-fought 1-1 draw against the Philadelphia Union Tuesday, showing their championship mettle. Montreal (+260), on the other hand, eeked into the Round of 16 despite losses in two of three Group C contests. Momentum is on the side of OCSC.

You can also still bet Draw or Tie (+270), as you’d be a winner after full time, regardless of who would win in extra time or penalty kicks.

A winning $10 wager on Orlando City SC (+100) to win outright nets a profit of $10. A $10 wager on Montreal (+260) to win would net a profit of $26, while a Draw or Tie (+270) would fetch a $27 profit.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-162) is a little on the steep side, but we have seen it before with these two on the same pitch. In fact, five of the past six in this series have seen at least three goals, including an Orlando City 3-0 win in the most recent meeting (June 1, 2019).

Prediction

Orlando City SC 1, Philadelphia Union 1

Moneyline (ML)

Philadelphia Union (+150) is the slight favorite here, with surprising Orlando City SC (+170) a tempting play at this price level. Both sides won their first two matches of Group A play and are through to the Round of 16, so don’t be surprised to see each side power down.

Orlando is fairly healthy, with no notable injuries to report; however, Santos is nicked for the Doopers, coming off at the half last time out after playing with a leg injury. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him sit in this one to get fit for the knockout stages.

Neither side is likely to push hard, so a DRAW (+260) play makes sense, and could be rather lucrative, too.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+115) is also rather attractive. Philadelphia’s defense and goalkeeping have been like a brick wall through two in Central Florida, conceding just one goal, while Orlando has allowed just two markers. Both sides are likely to gladly play a defensive slog, and more than two goals would be a major shocker.

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.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 10:40 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Orlando City SC 2, Real Salt Lake 1

Moneyline (ML)

ORLANDO CITY SC (+105) is a good play on their home pitch against the visitors, traversing the country to play in the heat and humidity of South Florida. Orlando has picked up two wins and two draws in the previous five meetings with Salt Lake.

Orlando closed out the 2019 regular season failing to win in their final eight matches, but they’ll be able to do enough in front of the faithful at Exploria Stadium to get the 2020 campaign off on the right foot.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-139) is worth a small-unit wager, perhaps in a parlay with Orlando City SC on the 3-way line. Orlando scored at least two goals in each of their final three home outings last season, and they allowed at least two goals in five of the final six. The Over is a good bet.
