The outcome of the match is difficult to predict. Both teams are showing a good game, going on a winning streak. In addition, this is the playoffs – here they always play until the last minutes, and the difference in class between the teams is leveled. The last face-to-face meeting between Orlando and Red Bull at Exploria Stadium ended in a draw. We suggest taking a little risk by betting on a draw in regular time this time too. Our prediction: draw at 3.70
Bet on total
The teams are not very productive in head-to-head meetings. Only in one match out of the last five did they break the total over 2.5. And in general, there are not so many goals in MLS playoff matches. We think that the meeting will be extremely cautious. We advise you to take a closer look at the bet on the low result.
Our prediction: total under 2.5 goals for 1.97
Bet on corners
Orlando often plays through the flanks and takes a lot of corners: an average of seven per game. For example, in the last three matches the team has collected 23 of them. Let take the individual total of the Lions for corners over 5.5.
Our prediction: Orlando corners IT over 5.5 for 1.97
