The Major League Soccer league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Orlando City and Toronto are placed 2nd and 12th respectively.

Insights:
  • Orlando City have the fewest conceded goals (2) in Major League Soccer
  • Toronto have yet to win a game away.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

These teams have little in common geographically as Toronto have to travel 2000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Orlando City form and stats

Orlando City, who have the fewest conceded goals (2) in Major League Soccer, must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Major League Soccer games here at Exploria Stadium.

A strong away win for Orlando against DC United the last match, as Mauricio Pereyra were on target. Sensational by Orlando last match, beating DC United away as big underdogs. Antônio Carlos, defender, was given a rating of 7.71/10 in that game, top of the team. Carlos won 6 of 7 duels.

In the match before that, Orlando City hosted New York City and drew the game 1-1.

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 have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won six times, drawn four and lost four.

Orlando has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. As for guarding their own goal, Orlando City have only let in 1 goal at home.

Toronto form and stats

The Major League Soccer season is young and Toronto have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far.

Toronto has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to New York City for a Major League Soccer game that ended a draw (1-1). Auro got a match rating of 7.33 in that game, top player of the team. Auro dribled passed the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 33 successful passes (of 40 total). The draw against New York City came from a losing position. The Toronto manager C. Armas brought on Jacob Shaffelburg as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Columbus Crew.
