Orlando City vs New York Red Bulls Prediction & Betting Tips (31 March)

Although results have picked up a bit recently, the fact that Orlando City have recorded just two victories in their previous 10 top-flight home fixtures, losing on five occasions, goes a long way towards explaining why they find themselves locked in a difficult battle. As for title-chasing New York Red Bulls, they have triumphed four times in five trips at this level of late.

Somewhat incredibly, New York Red Bulls have been involved in 13 consecutive top-flight fixtures containing over 2.5 goals, with the MLS outscoring their opponents by 43 goals to 10 during this sequence. Given that nine of the last ten Orlando City games at this level have followed suit, a minimum of three goals are expected when the teams meet.

New York Red Bulls may not have secured as many points as they might have wanted on their top-flight travels so far, but they have certainly delivered plenty of entertainment, with both teams on target in four of their five trips. What’s more, five of their most recent seven MLS meetings with Orlando City have served up goals at both ends.
