Why Bet on Orlando City
Despite being in fourth place in the MLS Eastern Conference with 30 points coming from a record of 8 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses, Orlando City has had a difficult couple of weeks. Victory has turned evasive and, in the last 5 games, including the quarterfinals of the Leagues Cup against the Mexican side Santos Laguna, they have a record of 2 draws, 2 losses, and 1 won.
Their last game was the one mentioned against Santos Laguna. In this game, despite playing at home and having control of the game, Orlando City failed to capitalize on their scoring chances and lose thanks to an only goal from Juan Otero at minute 30.
Why Bet on Nashville
Nashville has had an exciting season and, this is reflected by its third place in the MLS Eastern Conference. They have a record of 7 wins, 10 draws, and only 2 lost games. This makes them the team that has lost the fewest games in all of the MLS.
Nashville is coming off a spectacular win against DC United, with a score of 5-2. In this game, despite a tumbling start conceding in minute 3, They managed to recover and scored 3 goals before the end of the first half. Then, they scored their last two goals in the 80th and 87th minutes through Alex Muyl.
Final Betting Analysis: Orlando City vs. Nashville
This game between Orlando City and Nashville will be a train wreck in which the winner will surely take third place in the table. On the other hand, if NYC FC loses their game, the team who emerge victorious of this duel could assault the second place.
Orlando City wants to get out of their bad moment. For this, they must work on their offensive aspect since they have not been able to finish the games convincingly.
Nashville is in a similar position. The 10 draws they have in the championship make us think that their main problem is offensive since they could not score goals to win the games.
This game will be complicated and exciting, but our winner token is for Nashville.
Orlando City vs. Nashville Betting Pick: Nashville.
