2-1 to DC United
Orlando City are traveling so frequently these days, it’ll be a miracle if it doesn’t start affecting their display. Their previous game in the MLS campaign was versus Cincinnati at Exploria Stadium and while the goalless tie was an acceptable result, the players must be at their lethal best to scrape anything out of the DC United match on Sunday. Coach Oscar Pareja is at a huge disadvantage having played Tigres UANL at Estadio Universitario a couple of days ago and DC United should exploit this fact to the fullest.
Christian Benteke to Score Anytime
Our primary DC United vs Orlando City prediction favors former Premier League star Christian Benteke to find the net on Sunday. Sure, he didn’t thrill anybody with his lackluster display against Columbus Crew but his late 90th-minute goal against Toronto hasn’t been forgotten and we’re confident that he has the potential to replicate such a performance. Especially, when you consider the fact that the visitors will be playing on fumes on Sunday after their gladiator match against Tigres UANL a couple of days ago.

DC United odds: +140 – 40.0%
Draw odds: +250 – 27.0%
Orlando City odds: +190 – 33.0%
A draw at +250 (27.0%) is quite tempting but we urge you to stick to our DC United vs Orlando prediction. Wayne Rooney’s boys have a 40.0% shot at winning this game at +140 and while the 2-1 win is not the likeliest outcome, we think that the fantastic odds at +850 are worth the risk.
Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
DC United
Coach Wayne Rooney was pleased with what he saw from his boys on the pitch against Columbus Crew in the previous MLS game. Sure, DC United lost 2-0 but they were the superior team for the better part of 90 minutes. They had 15 shots at target, 53% possession, and 451 passes. All of their stats were leading toward a comfortable victory yet they found themselves trailing by two goals at the end.
Predicted lineup – Miller (GK), Jeahze, Birnbaum, Palsson, Najar, Santos, Canouse, Klich, Durkin, Benteke & Robertha
Orlando City
The Lions’ first two MLS games have been difficult to watch. With a 1-0 win against New York Red Bulls and a goalless tie against Cincinnati on the 5th of March, coach Oscar Pareja’s boys really need to step up their game in attack if they want to attract more fans to the stadium. Anyway, Orlando City are currently in 6th place in the Eastern Conference and that’s what counts in soccer.
Predicted lineup – Gallese (GK), Petrasso, Jansson, Schlegel, Halliday, Araujo, Pereyra, Angulo, Ojeda, Torres & Kara
Starting Lineups
DC United
Orlando City SC
*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off
Player to Watch: Pedro Gallese
As we mentioned in our previous DC United vs Orlando City section, the Lions have yet to concede a goal in the MLS campaign. With two clean sheets to his name, Pedro Gallese is currently the best goalkeeper in the league. We’re confident that he’ll try to pull off a couple of world-class goalkeeping moves when it most matters but he’s bound to concede sooner or later and the game on Sunday looks like a good time for that to happen.
