Orlando City v Toronto FC

Orlando City vs Toronto Preview

The fourth of July is always a special day in the American sporting calendar and there is MLS action on Tuesday night featuring this upcoming clash between Orlando City and Toronto at the Exploria Stadium in this Eastern Conference clash.

Orlando City currently occupy the last of the top seven places in the Eastern Conference and the hosts have been helped by a pretty consistent string of results in the MLS of late as they have suffered just the one defeat out of their last 10 matches overall, while also picking up four wins in the process which includes victories gained over Inter Miami, New York RB, Colorado Rapids and Chicago Fire.

Although Orlando City slipped to three defeats on the trot on home turf at their Exploria Stadium earlier in this campaign, the hosts have since steadied the ship with a six-match unbeaten run in their own backyard and having scored 2 goals or more in four of these last six home games, Orlando City will be in confident mood ahead of this Tuesday night's encounter.

Toronto find themselves in early trouble down near the foot of the Eastern Conference table as the Canadian outfit sit second from bottom and just three points above the bottom club, Inter Miami, prior to the fourth of July slate of fixtures.

With just three league wins under their belts so far in this season's campaign in the MLS, Toronto have actually picked up the fewest number of wins so far this term and it's also worth noting that all three of these victories have actually been achieved on home turf at their BMO Field, with victories over Inter Miami, New York City and DC United.

However, these rare wins have indeed been sporadic at best for Toronto and looking at recent results seems to underline the fact that the visitors have found wins hard to come by in general as they have collected just one win out of their last 11 matches overall.

Wins on the road have been even more scarce for Toronto who have failed to win a single game on their travels so far this season, while the bigger picture shows that the Canadian outfit have now failed to win any of their last 13 outings on the road which is a poor record indeed.

Orlando City v Toronto Verdict

Orlando City have won each of the last two meetings against Toronto by way of 4-0 and 1-0 wins respectively, while the bigger picture shows the hosts are unbeaten in the previous six clashes against their visitors so they look to be in good shape to continue this dominant trend over Toronto at the Exploria Stadium.

Therefore, our main bet will be Orlando City win @ 1.65

Other side bets worth considering:

Orlando City win & Under 2.5 goals @ 4.33

Correct score: Orlando City 1-0 @ 8.00
