D.C. United hosts Orlando City and looks to build on ending an 11-match winless streak, as it finally got a win by besting New York City in the Bronx. But United has given its own fans little to cheer this season, as it hasn’t won a home match since May 3. There have been a few close losses, a few draws and one embarrassing 7-1 defeat to Chicago, but there hasn’t been anything in the win column since May 3.
And this is probably the wrong opponent for DC to change its luck against, because Orlando City has been sitting and waiting since August 23. The Lions had won four straight before running out of gas from fixture congestion in a 5-1 loss at Nashville. With Orlando looking at a playoff spot and DC lost in the muck, the Lions can’t afford to miss this opportunity.

Our DC United vs Orlando City SC Prediction
The past three meetings between the teams have featured two things: a lot of goals, and an Orlando victory. The Lions won the first meeting in Florida by a 4-1 score, and they’ve outscored DC 12-3 in their past three matchups.
Given DC’s weakness on the attack, Orlando is likely going to have to do most of the scoring. If this were a match in the height of fixture congestion, this might be cause for concern. This is a classic trap game on the road, and that can be devastating for a team when it lands in the middle of the calendar. But that hasn’t happened here. Orlando is rested and mentally fresh, and it has no reason to be anything but focused. Our prediction is for Orlando City to Win.
