New England and Orlando City meet in Major League Soccer, with the hosts sitting 3rd in the table on 43 points from 25 matches, while the visitors are 6th with 34 points from the same number of games. Both still have points to collect in the second half of the season, and this is a game the hosts want to win to shore up their position. New England are on a 2-match winning run and have gone 2 matches unbeaten, winning their last league games 2-1 in succession, helped in part by an attack that scores consistently. Orlando City, meanwhile, have just lost 1-2 in the cup, but before that they were on a winning run of three league games. Their defence remains a concern, having conceded 56 goals in 25 matches. According to the expected line-ups, New England are likely to set up in a 4-3-3 with Carles Gil de Pareja Vicent dictating the tempo in midfield and Dor Turgeman leading the line as the main striker, while Orlando City are expected to come out in a 4-2-3-1 with Antoine Griezmann as the target for the final ball. The game is likely to see the hosts taking the initiative and pushing forward for goals, while the visitors wait for counter-attacking moments and use their speed in transition.
