Toronto FC vs Orlando City SC — Tips & Analysis

Orlando City SC +0.5: Toronto hardly ever beat anyone by much, and that is the first reason we are with Orlando. Toronto have won by 2 or more goals in 0 of their last 20 games. They have won only 4 of those 20 and tied 7, and 4 of their last 10 at home ended level. They score almost 2 goals a game at BMO Field and let in just over 2 there, so they hang around in games without winning them. W. Zimmerman and N. Palacio are both out, so the home back line is patched up. Orlando carry the real quality. They have won 9 of their last 20, they score 2 goals a game, and they sit 7th on 37 points to Toronto's 11th on 32. The history is on their side too. Toronto have won 7, tied 3 and lost 10 across the last 20 meetings, and Orlando won the September game 3-0. A 2-2 is the likeliest finish, and a result like that is exactly what we are backing. The honest worry is Orlando away from home. They have won 3, tied 1 and lost 5 in nine road games, and they let in close to 3 goals a game on those trips. Toronto also won their last game, so they are not arriving flat. We still think Orlando avoid defeat here.
