Orlando City form and stats

4 victories, 0 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Orlando City, who have the the worst goal difference (-3) at home in Major League Soccer, have to build on here at Exploria Stadium in the Major League Soccer.

The home supporters witnessed a 1-1 draw vs Nashville SC in the US Open Cup last time out and are looking for a win here.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Cincinnati (0-1).

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 18 games) they have won 10 times, drawn 6 and lost 2.

Orlando are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Orlando City defense is not exactly impregnable. 14 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

DC United form and stats

There's been little loot from DC United's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the Major League Soccer. DC United only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. It's a growing despair in DC United as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

DC United's previous game was their home loss versus Nashville SC (1-3). Fountas, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.81. Fountas scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

A 0-1 defeat away at Chicago Fire before that.

We have checked recent matches where DC United have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 14 games were 2 victories, 2 draws and 10 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the DC United manager Losada as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Philadelphia Union.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting DC United as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the former ten meetings featuring these two participants are: five wins for Orlando City, two draws and three wins for DC United. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games. The matches between these teams have had a tendency to be "violent", having seen 5 sending-offs from the last ten encounters.
