Bitesize Prediction: Orlando City vs Toronto FC – 05/07/23

Competition: MLS

Market: Orlando City Victory

Rating: 7/10 @

Looking for back-to-back MLS victories in the early hours of Wednesday, Orlando will host a struggling Toronto at Exploria Stadium.

Starting with the hosts, making a welcome return to winning ways over the weekend as they headed to a 3-1 game against Chicago, Orlando should find the mood in their camp at a high level . Considered one of the main contenders to claim another play-off ticket in the Eastern Conference, the Lions should feel the chance for back-to-back MLS wins here. Having suffered just one defeat in one of their last 10 consecutive domestic appearances - a run dating back to May 9 - Oscar Pareja's men have gone on to earn a reputation for their robust performances at the Exploria Stadium . Along with picking up a routine 2-0 win over Colorado on June 10, Orlando is rightly considered a standout pick here. Without a single defeat in front of their own fans since the end of April, the Lions should rejoice when Toronto arrives in Florida in the early hours of Wednesday.

As for the visitors, who have continued in dismal form since returning from the international break in June, Toronto finds itself in the midst of another domestic crisis. Last seen over the weekend as they crumbled to a 1-0 home loss to Real Salt Lake, the Reds have now lost each of their previous three MLS appearances by aggregate score. of 6-1. Under intense scrutiny in 2023, acting boss Terry Dunfield knows he has an almighty job on his hands. Comprising just one win in their last 12 straight domestic encounters – a streak dating back to April 29 – Toronto faces what could be a huge midweek challenge. Collapsing to 4-0 on their last trip to the Exploria Stadium nine months ago, we expect a similar win at home in the early hours of Wednesday.

Bet: Orlando City 7/10 beat Toronto FC in Wednesday's game in MLS @
