Our prediction for this MLS match:
Exploria Stadium will host Monday’s MLS game between Orlando City and Inter Miami, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Lions aim to retain second place in the Eastern Conference, while the Herons are eager to move closer to the playoffs berth. Orlando City failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to New York City, but they are surely capable of matching the Messi-less visitors in front of home fans.
Inter Miami rolled over Toronto 4-0 in midweek, but seeing that both Leo Messi and Jordi Alba are injured for Monday’s showdown, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home team. Both Allen and Taylor are likely to replace the former Barca duo in the starting XI, while Ian Fray, Franco Negri, Corentin Jean, and Gregore remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Team (Orlando City):
Orlando City are a member of the Eastern Conference in Major League Soccer. The Lions have been participating in the major league since 2015 and they host their rivals at Orlando City Stadium. The venue was opened in February, 2017 and the construction of the stadium cost $155 million. Orlando City finished the 2015 MLS season in seventh place in the Eastern Conference and they failed to make it to the play-offs in the 2016 season as well (8th place).
Brazilian ace Kaka is undisputedly the club’s most famous player and the former Real Madrid and Milan man became the highest-paid player in MLS history. His base salary was $6.6 million per year and it has to be noted that the Brazilian superstar found the net on his Orlando City debut against FC Dallas (friendly). Orlando City’s home kit is violet, while they wear white and violet shirts and white socks on the travels. The club’s official mascot is Kingston the Lion.
