2-1 to Philadelphia Union
A 2-1 Philly win over Orlando City isn’t as ludicrous as one might think. After all, the Lions’ last match ended with a 1-2 loss against Charlotte, and Orlando City were also close to getting pipped 1-2 in the CONCACAF Champions League match against Tigres UANL on the 16th of March.
The same thing happened on the 12th of March when coach Oscar Pareja’s boys recorded a 1-1 draw against DC United. The head-to-head data also favors our Philadelphia Union vs Orlando City pick as Philly won five of the last 10 matches against Orlando City.
Daniel Gazdag to Score Anytime
It was sad to see such a remarkable player lose the goalscoring award last year. With 24 goals in 37 games, Daniel Gazdag impressed everyone but his efforts weren’t enough as Austin’s Sebastian Driussi gave him a run for his money with 25 goals in 37 matches.
Nevertheless, averaging 0.65 goals per game is quite an impressive accomplishment and we’re certain that Daniel Gazdag will be among the scorers on Saturday. This Philadelphia Union vs Orlando City prediction favors the 27-year-old Hungarian as he already has two goals and two assists to his name this season. He’ll want to have another go at the goalscorer’s award for sure.

Philadelphia Union odds: -133 – 56.0%
Draw odds: +280 – 24.0%
Orlando City odds: +360 – 20.0%
At +750, the 2-1 Philadelphia Union might not be the likeliest outcome on Saturday but it’s certainly one that deserves a bit of a risk. After all, Orlando City are the underdogs in this race at +360 as they only have a 20.0% chance of securing the three points.
Philadelphia Union vs Orlando City Lineups & Team News
Philadelphia Union
Trailing by four points in the Eastern Conference, Philadelphia Union are getting sloppy. If they want to be among the early favorites to secure a place in the final series, they’ll have to show us something else than what we’ve seen from them in the 3-2 loss against Montreal on the 19th of March where they barely had 44% possession.
Predicted lineup – Bendik (GK), Wagner, Elliott, Glesnes, Mbaizo, Perea, Flach, Bedoya, Gazdag, Uhre & Torres
Orlando City
The Lions’ recent games aren’t ones to savor as the team doesn’t play the soccer the fans want. With barely three goals scored and three conceded since the start of the season, Orlando City are hard to watch at times. The 1-2 loss against Charlotte in the last fixture, disappointing as it might be as Orlando City didn’t get any points, was at least interesting to watch as there were 28 shots at target in total.
Predicted lineup – Gallese (GK), Santos, Jansson, Schlegel, Halliday, Araujo, Pereyra, Angulo, Ojeda, Thorhallsson & McGuire

Player to Watch: Martin Ojeda
Orlando City’s Martin Ojeda was the only one to score for the Lions in the 1-2 loss against Charlotte a couple of days ago. His lovely second-half goal gave the team a chance to get back into the game but his teammates were way too static for something more than a minimal loss against one of the new sides in MLS.
