Orlando displayed they have what it takes to beat some of the better sides in the division, having defeated Philadelphia Union in their last away match, but they have been too inconsistent.
As such, we expect the hosts to get their solid start back on track with a narrow 1-0 victory, in keeping with their other results this season, yet to win by more than one goal.
