Betting on Orlando City SC
Orlando City SC is one of the newest teams among those participating in Major League Soccer, having joined in 2015. Last season, they had an acceptable performance, with a seventh place finish in the Eastern Conference that catapulted them into the playoffs. However, in their first elimination match, they were swept by CF Montreal.
Under the leadership of Colombian Óscar Pareja, the team has brought in two good young Argentinean players for the offense this season. The left-handed Martín Ojeda (who cost USD 5 million) from Godoy Cruz, and Ramiro Enrique, son of a 1986 World Cup winner with Argentina, Héctor Enrique, from Banfield.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Pedro Gallese; Michael Halliday, Rodrigo Schlegel, Robin Jansson and Luca Petrasso; Mauricio Pereyra and César Araujo; Facundo Torres, Martín Ojeda and Iván Angulo; Duncan McGuire.
Betting on New York Red Bulls
The Belgian striker, Dante Vanzeir, is the new face of hope for the New York Red Bulls’ attack, having arrived from Union SG in exchange for USD 5 million. The New Yorkers had a similar performance to that of Orlando City’s in 2022: they were knocked out in the first round of the playoffs by Cincinnati after finishing fourth in the Eastern Conference.
The team, managed by the Austrian Gerhard Struber since 2020, is coming off a very good preseason, winning all four of its matches.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Carlos Coronel; Andrés Reyes, Sean Nealis and Dylan Nealis; Cameron Harper, Frankie Amaya, Cristian Cásseres, Lewis Morgan and Luquinhas; Tom Barlow and Elias Manoel.
JefeBet Prediction
The New York Red Bulls seem better prepared for the start of the new MLS season, and although they will have the fans against them, they are expected to get a good result in their visit to the state of Florida to face Orlando City SC. It will undoubtedly be a victory for the New Yorkers.
Prediction: New York Red Bulls wins by 2-0.
