Command Analysis

Orlando City

Current form
Orlando played the opening match of the new regular season of the MLS at home, and Philadelphia Union was one of the outsiders of the last draw. It seemed that the hosts were able to deal with such an opponent in class, but instead there was a crushing defeat 2:4. Of course, Orlando did not deserve this in the game, he opened the scoring first, had many dangerous moments, but the defensive game turned out to be a complete failure. It should be noted that Pashalich scored a double in that meeting. Undoubtedly, in the second match in a row at the home arena, the team cannot afford to play carelessly and lose again.
Disqualifications and injuries
Cartagena and Tsukada will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends

- In the last ten face-to-face matches, Orlando has lost to his upcoming opponent only once.
Provisional squad: Gallese – Thorhallsson, Schlegel, Brecalo, Rafael Santos - Atuesta, Arayo, Pasalic, Oyeda - Angulo, Henrique.

Toronto FC

Current form
Toronto is clearly not ready to demonstrate a stable game and achieve positive results at the start of the season. The Canadians did not win a single victory in two friendly matches. In the first game of the regular season, they faced D.C. United away and parted in peace (2-2). At the same time, the opponent took the lead twice, but could not maintain the advantage. Toronto has another away match ahead, only this time it's a more serious opponent, and it's going to be difficult to score points, given that Orlando won five of the six previous face-to-face confrontations.
Disqualifications and injuries
The entrance to the Insigne field is questionable.
