Both teams sit top 5 in the conference and are likely to make the playoffs, however the drop from #1 to #3 by NYCFC is shocking given their early run of the season. This will be a playoff atmosphere to say the least, and with Orlando at #5 and not far in front of #6 - #11, I can see no other outcome than goals goals goals as they fight to stay above water in the standings. Both teams to score is likely, given that NYCFC leak goals to the home teams who press high; but my official bet is NYCFC +0.25 because of the defensive strength and recent data against teams who have struggled to score goals (Orlando has only scored 2 goals in the last 4 home games). Also the fact that defender Jansson is questionable to play for Orlando and they will be without midfielder Alexandre Pato tonight.

Official Play: NYCFC +0.25
