It's quite the trip for Seattle Sounders when visiting Orlando City as the cities are 4200 kilometers apart.

Orlando City form and stats
The story so far in the Major League Soccer for Orlando City at their home stadium (Exploria Stadium) is 6 wins, 0 draws and 7 defeats.
The Orlando City followers enjoyed the previous game, watching their team host New York City and win 2-1. Manager Gómez felt very clever after Akindele scored the winning goal against New York City, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 78th minute. Midfield player Torres got a match rating of 7.71 in that game, the max score being 10. Torres served one assist and hit three key passes.
In the game before, an away victory match versus Charlotte with a 2-1 scoreline.This is expected to be a close game, with Orlando City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Orlando as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Orlando City has won 4 of these, drawn 4 and lost 6.
Orlando City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 13 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Orlando City defense is not exactly impregnable. 24 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
