In the next few hours, New York City FC will visit the Inter & Co Stadium for the first time this year to face Orlando City in a clash that promises to move the MLS on Wednesday. The teams are currently sixth and seventh in the Eastern Conference and are very close to securing places in the playoffs.
Orlando City team news
Orlando City extended their winless streak to four games after repeatedly failing to hold on to leads in their matches. This situation occurred four times in home games, when the Lions scored first and couldn't hold on.
Oscar Pareja's players will also need to improve their defensive performance, having conceded six goals in their last three games. Duncan MgGuire (shoulder injury) and Joran Gerbet (thigh injury) sat out the last match and are likely to miss out.
Orlando City predicted lineup vs NY City FC: Gallese; Freeman, Jansson, Schlegel, Santos; Pasalic, Atuesta, Araujo, M. Ojeda; Muriel, Enrique
New York City FC team news
On the other hand, New York City FC lost their second game in three MLS rounds and sounded the alarm for the rest of the season. Pascal Jansen's side have failed to score in eight regular season games, six of which have been played as visitors.
Another cause for concern is the fragility of their attack compared to their direct opponents, with only 27 goals scored in 21 games played, the second worst attack among the teams currently qualifying for the post-season. Keaton Parks, Malachi Jones and Máximo Carrizo are likely to miss out once again.
NY City FC predicted lineup vs Orlando City: Freese; Ilenic, Martins, Haak, O’Toole; O’Neill, Perea; A. Ojeda, Moralez, Wolf; Martinez
