• New York City won 18 of their 34 regular-season matches in MLS last year.
• Both teams scored in 20 of Orlando’s 34 league matches last season.
• New York City’s matches featured an average of 3.09 goals per game last season.

New York City can get back to winning ways

MLS is Back Tournament hosts Orlando City began their competition with victory in their all-Florida clash against Inter Miami but their upcoming encounter with New York City could represent a step-up in quality.

Orlando were on course for a stalemate last time out until a 97th-minute strike from Nani and while they finished 11th in the 2019 Eastern Conference, New York City topped the section with 27 more points than their Florida counterparts.

They lost only six MLS regular-season games last term and although they lost their MLS is Back Tournament opener 1-0 against Philadelphia, they were the better team in the match, winning the shot count 18-8.

With Maxi Moralez and Heber among those available to them in the final third, a New York City win looks the best match prediction but the club also conceded in 12 of their 18 regular-season wins last term so may ship a consolation goal. They won 2-1 on five occasions in the 2020 MLS and that could be the shrewdest correct score prediction.
