Real Salt Lake vs Orlando City Predictions

Real Salt Lake go in search of just their second win of the season this weekend, but after losing each of their last four matches the hosts are bound to be low on confidence. Orlando City stand a good chance of avoiding defeat on Sunday as they remain unbeaten away from home this season, and have won two of their last three in the MLS.

Real Salt Lake gave a decent account of themselves away at Seattle Sounders last time out, but an eighteenth minute strike from Lodeiro proved enough for the hosts to claim all three points. Orlando City and Colorado Rapids put on a seven-goal thriller in Florida last time out, where the hosts lead 2-1 at the break thanks to goals from Nani and Akindele. However, Orlando conceded two goals in the space of ten second half minutes and found themselves 3-2 town with nineteen minutes left on the clock. Mueller equalised for the hosts in the eighty-first minute and Nani converted a late penalty to hand Orlando City a dramatic late victory.

The head to head record between these two clubs and their performances in the MLS this season, suggests that Orlando City have a very good chance of taking something from Sunday’s game. Orlando City have never lost any of their four matches against Real Salt Lake, picking up two wins and two draws. Real Salt Lake have lost their last four matches, while Orlando City have only lost two of their last six. Real Salt Lake have failed to score in two of their last four matches, while Orlando City have scored in all of their away games this season. Al, of the above suggests that Orlando City are worth backing with a double chance bet this weekend, and we believe they will pinch all three points with a 1-0 win.

Rusnák top scores for Real Salt Lake this season with two goals, while Dwyer leads the way for Orlando City with three goals in six appearances. We’re confident that Orlando City will come away from Sunday’s game with at least a point to show for their efforts, and have backed the visitors with a double chance bet. In terms of a final score we’re going with a 1-0 win for Orlando City, but the double chance bet covers us if the pair play out a draw.
