Orlando City host New York City in MLS knowing a win would go a long way in securing a Playoff spot. The Lions currently sit in the final Playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, two points ahead of FC Cincinatti who take up a wild card spot. With only a handful of games left in the regular season, three points here could ultimately be the difference between making the Playoffs and missing out completely.
Orlando put an end to a three game losing run and are now unbeaten in their last three. Two wins and a draw have stabilised the Lions' position, although they're still conceding a lot of goals. They face a New York City side who will still have eyes an a wild card spot but they're in poor form. The Pigeons haven't won any of their last five games, losing three of them. Away at Orlando will be a difficult task for NYCFC.
For our prediction, we think this will be a home win. With the poor form of New York City, combined with the chance of Orlando moving eight points clear of 10th place Toronto, we think the Lions will take all three points.
