Orlando City team news and form: Pareja must find a way out
Orlando City did lose their last official away game in Major League Soccer, but we believe the Lions will be back on the right track with a win over Toronto this week. Yes, coach Pareja won’t be able to count on right-back Michael Halliday, but we still believe he has plenty of wonderful players to count on.

Player to watch: Federico Bernardeschi
As we mentioned earlier in our Toronto vs Orlando City prediction, Federico is the leading finisher for the Canucks, with seven goals to his name in 2024. However, he’s definitely far from being a one-trick pony! After all, he is also the key creator on the team, as he has five assists this season.
Second player to watch: Lorenzo Insigne
The former Napoli superstar has had his health issues over the past couple of months, but we believe he can make an appearance for Toronto in this game. His presence on the pitch might cause some issues for Orlando City.
