LiontipsOrlando City vs Atlanta. MLS Match Prediction and Betting Tips
Command Analysis
Current form
Orlando had a successful regular season and is approaching the final round in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. They won’t be able to climb higher, but the gap from fifth-placed New York City is only two points, so it’s clearly not worth playing half-heartedly today. It should be noted that Oscar Parejo’s charges played a strong finish and won four of their previous five matches in the championship. In the last away match, a 3:1 victory was recorded over Cincinnati. It should be added that Orlando currently has an open home series of four wins in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brekalo and Thorhalsson are injured and will not play today. Janson has too many yellow cards.
Interesting trends for betting
- In three of the last five matches, Orlando has tied its opponents in the first half
- More than three goals have been scored in three of the team previous four matches
Probable line-up : Gallese-Smith, Schlegel, Tsukada, Rafael Santos-Arajo, Cartagena, Torres, Muriel-Angulo, Enrique.
Current form
Atlanta has a purely theoretical chance to catch up with their play-in zone opponents, who have three points more, in case of a win today. However, not everything depends only on United themselves. In any case, the team should not have any problems with motivation today. The chance for salvation appeared thanks to the victory in the previous game over New York Red Bulls (2:1). In that meeting they were lucky, as the opponent had a red card in the second half. It is worth noting that Alexey Miranchuk scored a goal from the penalty spot. In general, Atlanta has played poorly in attack throughout the season; with 44 goals scored, it is difficult to count on high places in MLS.
Disqualifications and injuries
Muyumba, Silva and Westberg will be sidelined today due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Atlanta have played to a first-half draw in four games in a row
- The teams' last five matches have seen an exchange of goals scored
Estimated lineup : Guzan - Hernandez, Gregersen, Williams, Amador - Slish, Fortune, Lobzhanidze, Miranchuk - Mosquera, Tiare.

11.50Tip and bets
Not without a bit of luck, Atlanta won the last match and retained their chances for a play-in spot. However, the visitors have not impressed in their play at the end of the season, and there are noticeable problems in attack. It will be hard to count on points on the road today. Orlando has won three matches in a row, consistently scoring at least two goals. We think that the hosts will score another three points due to their powerful attack line.
Our prediction is Orlando win with odds of 1.75
Bet on total
The visitors have nothing to lose today, they only need a victory. It is obvious that Aleksey Miranchuk team will go forward with great force from the first minutes. In such a scenario, the hosts will have a lot of space, which the fast forwards will use. In three of the last four matches involving Orlando, more than three goals were scored, which we expect this time too.
The second bet is total over three goals with odds of 1.65
Bet on the first half
It should be noted that in four previous matches, Atlanta ended the first half with a draw. There is a high probability of such a development on the field today.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.80
