Orlando City aim to kickstart the new MLS campaign in style and with the club chiefs adding several high-profile players to the squad, we predict that they will do so with a 2-1 win over New York Red Bulls. The Lions enter the new season with heavy reinforcement: Tiago, Luis Otavio, Iago Teodoro, Braian Ojeda, Griffin Dorsey, Tyrese Spicer and elite goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau all arrive to rebuild a side that ended last year in poor form (0.60 PPG overall). Despite the ugly run of five without a win, Orlando were more competitive at home (1.33 PPG) and consistently scored â 0% failed-to-score rate and 100% BTTS at home underline that they always create danger, supported by a solid xG profile of 1.63 overall.New York Red Bulls also reinforced their squad with Jorge Ruvalcaba, Gustav Berggren, Andy Rojas and Justin Che. Last season was inconsistent: 1.00 PPG overall, strong at home (1.40), but shaky away (0.60 PPG). The Metros conceded 1.80 goals per away match and kept only 20% clean sheets on the road, though their xGA of 1.42 suggests they were sometimes punished more than they deserved.
