The 2026 Major League Soccer season gets underway for Orlando City and the New York Red Bulls on Saturday evening. The pair will clash at Inter&Co Stadium, where the hosts were in very strong form at the end of the previous campaign. Can the Lions pick up where they left off? Well, Óscar Pareja's men didn't exactly light up the Eastern Conference last season, sneaking into the top nine. This time around, they'll be looking to make the playoffs in more convincing fashion. 

Sadly, the Red Bulls, who went all the way to MLS Cup Final in 2024, failed to make the postseason in 2025. They finished tenth in the Eastern Conference, ten points behind Saturday's hosts. Michael Bradley, who is no stranger to MLS Cup glory, is now at the helm, and with such an experienced coach leading the way, the Red Bulls could easily enjoy a strong campaign. Let's see if they can start by securing a positive result in Florida.

Our Orlando City SC vs New York Red Bulls Prediction

Last season, Martin Ojeda was one of the most impressive forwards in all of Major League Soccer, and the Argentine will be looking to make a fast start to the new campaign, that's for sure. Having scored an average of 0.54 goals during the previous campaign, scoring two goals in Orlando's first three home games, scoring also against the Red Bulls, Ojeda is easy to support on Saturday, let's be honest. 

During pre-season the visitors have been conceding lots of goals, and with someone like Marco Pasalic feeding, the forward shouldn't go without chances here. I'm betting that he can take at least one of them.
