Orlando City and St. Louis City are both successful in the Major League Soccer with their 4th and 1st places respectively. Let's hope for a wonderful game!
- Orlando City is in the best form (4-1-1) in Major League Soccer
- St. Louis City haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Orlando City form and stats
Orlando City have played 12 Major League Soccer games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-4-3 (wins-draws-losses). The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Exploria Stadium.
It's back home for Orlando, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Chicago Fire away with the result 3-1. Cartagena, Angulo and Torres found the net in that victory. Midfielder Torres was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.32 (out of ten) in that game. Torres scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Before that match, a loss in the away fixture against Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Orlando City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 16 games) they have won 9 times, drawn 3 and lost 4.
Goal fest? Nobody knows about this one, but we do know that 8 of the 10 latest league games with this club has had three or more goals.
Orlando are traveling soon after this match as the Major League Soccer match at Charlotte awaits in four days.
The Orlando City fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 18 goals in 12 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.
St. Louis City form and stats
Playing away, St. Louis City have won 5 games, drawn 1 and suffered 5 defeats in the Major League Soccer this season.
Louis are travelling after their nice 6-3 home win in the game against Austin. As lucky as a duck! The team won the game despite "losing" heavily in xG (expected goals): 1.44 - 3.52. It's the real goals that count! A stark raving crazy fixture with masses of goals last time out for St. Louis City, as mentioned above. 9 goals in that match, will this match be as exciting? St. Louis City goalie Bürki was high and low in the Austin game, contributing six saves towards the victory. Löwen got a match rating of 9.01 in that game, top player of the team. Löwen hit the woodwork once, signed up for three assists, hit five key passes and dribled past the opponent 4 of 6 times.
A loss, in the Leagues Cup away at América, earlier. We have checked recent matches where St. Louis City have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 6 games were 3 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
After this away game Louis return home for a Major League Soccer game against Dallas. That game is only four sleeps after this.
St. Louis City are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 14 away goals from 11 games (in the league). In the opposite end, St. Louis City have conceded 17 goals in their away games.
