Federico Bernardeschi to score anytime

Bernardeschi was the top finisher for the visitors during the 2024 MLS campaign, with eight goals to his name.

Exploria Stadium will host the upcoming match between the Lions and Toronto on the 2nd of March. The quests from up north weren’t exactly a force to be reckoned with during the 2024 Major League Soccer campaign, but maybe Federico Bernardeschi and his colleagues will turn things around this season. Find out if that will be the case according to Football Whispers’ soccer experts and their professional Orlando City vs Toronto betting tips.

Orlando City vs Toronto prediction: Lions to edge the three points

  • The last five head-to-heads resulted in four victories for the Lions and only one for Toronto.

Correct score prediction: Orlando City 2-1 Toronto

The Lions won 80.0% of their last five matches against this opponent. How can our Orlando City vs Toronto predictions possibly fail? We are convinced that an experienced manager such as Oscar Pareja will find a way to get the three points at Exploria Stadium.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Lions to devour Canucks

  • HOME: -166 – 61.2%
  • DRAW: +305 – 22.8%
  • AWAY: +450 – 16.0%

*These Orlando City vs Toronto odds are subject to change

Federico Bernardeschi to score anytime is a good suggestion for this MLS match, as the odds behind our key Orlando City vs Toronto prediction give it a sturdy 33.90% chance of success. The Italian’s presence on the pitch at Exploria Stadium, however, doesn’t make Toronto the expected winners this week. Toronto’s odds are priced at +450, which only gives them a 16.0% shot at the three points. The favorites to win are Orlando City, as they have a whopping 61.2% win probability before the start of the match.

Toronto team news and form: Another decent display by Canucks incoming?

We were surprised to see Bernardeschi and Co record a point at Audi Field last week. Sure, Christian Benteke and his teammates were the better of the two teams on the pitch, but the visitors used their chances wisely and deserved to get a point.

Predicted lineup: Johnson (GK), Rosted, Long, Wingo, Laryea, Coello, Flores, Cimermancic, Osorio, Bernardeschi & Corbeanu

Player to watch: Marco Pasalic

Croatian superstar Marco Pasalic deserves to be singled out in our Orlando City vs Toronto prediction, as he is by far the home side’s key performer right now. With a goal in a pre-season match and a brace at the start of the 2025 MLS campaign, the winger is making a bold claim – he is here for the title.

Second player to watch: Martin Ojeda

On the opposite side of the pitch, we have Martin Ojeda. This player helped Pasalic score a goal at Exploria Stadium, and we are sure the manager will find room for him among the starters.
