Orlando City have been struggling with consistency so far in the season but they seem to be finding some stability lately. They will now look to remain undefeated for the third consecutive match when they will host Toronto FC on Saturday. Toronto FC made a promising start but have struggled lately.

Orlando City (3-3-3) are coming into this match after a somewhat lucky 1-1 draw on the road against NYCFC. They took an early lead but their opponents pulled even at the 51st minute for the final 1-1. Orlando City have now lost just once in their last four (2-1-1) but have kept just two clean sheets so far. They are now sitting at the 6th spot of the Eastern Conference with 12 points, one behind Toronto. Toronto FC (4-2-1) are coming off a 2-1 home loss against Portland in what was a frustrating match, as they took the lead but eventually lost. They have struggled to get results lately, winning just one of their last four (1-2-1). Moreover, they have kept just one clean sheet so far. Toronto FC are now sitting at the 4th spot of the Eastern Conference with 13 points, four behind the top spot.

The two teams exchanged 1-2 home wins last season and Toronto FC remained the better team in this match-up over the years (7-2-1). They have also been great in this venue (3-2-0) where they have scored in all five matches. Both teams have really bad defenses and I wouldn’t be surprised to see at least three goals here.
