Insights:

  • Houston Dynamo have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It's quite the trip for Houston Dynamo when visiting Orlando as the cities are 1500 kilometers apart.

Not much time to rest for the hosting team, as they performed in a Major League Soccer fixture only three days back. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at New England.

Orlando City form and stats

3 victories, 0 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Orlando City, who have the most conceded goals (13) at home in Major League Soccer, have to build on here at Exploria Stadium in the Major League Soccer.

An away draw last time out for Orlando City, facing New England in a game that ended 1-1. Smith, defender, was given a rating of 7.6/10 in that game, top of the team. Smith hit one key pass and won 6 of 9 duels.

Ahead of that match, Orlando City lost 1-3 at home to Dallas.

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 17 games) they have won 9 times, drawn 6 and lost 2.

The Orlando fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Orlando City defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
