Toronto FC vs Orlando City Prediction & Betting Tips (4 July)

The Canadian franchise is just in 8th place but seems to be decimated in recent weeks with a pitiful series of seven games without a win and above all, four consecutive defeats with at least 2 goals conceded at least per match. To list these defeats, this run started against the Chicago Fire 1-4, for the arrival of Nashville 1-2, a correction on the lawn of the New York Red Bulls 3-0 and the weekend on the side of Mercedes- Benz Stadium in Atlanta 2-1. We cannot say that Orlando is riding a better dynamic than its opponent of the night but it has still won three of its last 10 matches in MLS. The latest, against the Chicago Fire with a 4-2 score.

Hoping to continue last weekend in the Big Apple against New York City FC, the Florida franchise fell from a height by conceding the same score that it inflicted on Chicago, losing 4-2. In the standings, the Orlando Pirates are still poorly ranked with a pitiful 11th position but only 3 lengths behind their counterpart of the night.

Called up with Canada for the Copa America, Osorio and Laryea (ex-Nottingham) will be absent tonight since their selection will play the quarter-finals of the competition. Sean Johnson has left the door with the United States but could have days off before returning with the franchise (uncertain). His compatriot Servania (not a match in 2024) is injured and OUT last night like Spicer (2 goals in MLS), also injured. The coach will, however, be able to count on former Italian internationals Bernardeschi (ex-Juventus, 8 goals, 6 assists in MLS this season) and Insigne (ex-Naples, 4 goals, 5 caviars). On the Orlando side , the Peruvians Gallese (starting goalkeeper) and Wilder Cartagena (14 appearances in MLS) could be back following their elimination at the Copa America (uncertain at least) while Brekalo, engaged with Slovenia for the Euro has just undergo elimination from the Euro against Portugal and will be absent tonight.

Injured, returned from injury and again on the flank, the Argentinian Enrique (4 goals in 33 appearances in MLS last season) is unable to launch his season. He will probably be out, just like Halliday (rotation) and Reid-Brown (long-term absence), both also injured. On the other hand, will be in the game, the young 23-year-old striker, Duncan MGuire (7 goals) and the very interesting Facundo Torres (5 goals, 3 goals), who was not called up by Marcelo Bielsa with Uruguay for the Copa America.
