Orlando City and New York City have met many times, and New York City have usually been the side to take the result, especially in the most recent meeting when they won 5-0 in March. This time, though, the shape of both teams is quite different from before, especially Orlando City, who return home with form that is starting to improve. Orlando City have won two of their last three and scored plenty throughout that stretch, but their defence still shows clear problems. New York City, meanwhile, have not won in their last five, drawing two and losing three, but they have not been thrashed in every game either, and their defence has held up in several spells. This game therefore looks likely to be one where Orlando City push forward and New York City sit back and wait to counter. If New York City score first, the game will open up even more, and Orlando City will have to push higher, which could leave space for New York City to counter again. But if Orlando City get the first goal, New York City also have the option to sit deep and wait for their chance to counter. This game tends to end close and with several goals.
