Orlando City SC vs Vancouver Whitecaps Preview and Team News
Orlando City SC Team News
For Orlando City, a lot rests on this fixture, as they currently sit fifth in the Eastern Conference table and aim to become one of the challengers for the Supporters’ Shield by the end of the season.
The Lions like to play wide balls to their attackers and encourage penetrative runs into the final third. A lot of their focus is also spent on creating transitions from defense to attack, with their midfielders acting as key conduits to move the ball forward.
Orlando prefer a 4-4-2 formation, where sideways passing is given as much importance as playing through the lines. The purpose of using two strikers is to create layoffs and allow their wide midfielders to run into empty spaces and assist them in times of need.
Luis Muriel has been suspended, while Duncan McGuire, Wilder Cartagena, and Yutaro Tsukada have been sidelined with injuries.
Orlando City SC predicted lineup vs Vancouver Whitecaps (4-4-2): Gallese; Marin, Schlegel, Jansson, Smith; Thorhallsson, Gerbet, Araujo, Rodriguez; Spicer, Enrique.
Vancouver Whitecaps Team News
Sitting third in the Western Conference table, the Vancouver Whitecaps are also one of the contenders for the Supporters’ Shield. The Canadian club are known for their all-out focus on attack, often looking to generate chances in the final third through long balls played out from defense.
They’ve gone unbeaten in four of their last five matches and scored a whopping total of 10 goals, averaging two per outing. Defensively, they’ve also held up reasonably well, conceding six goals over the same span.
The Whitecaps like to use their wings a lot, which fits nicely into their preferred 4-2-3-1 lineup. The presence of two central midfielders acts as a pivot, allowing them to dominate proceedings by dictating the game’s rhythm.
Just like their opponents, the visitors also have a long list of injured players, including Joedrick Pupe, Ranko Veselinovic, Ryan Gauld, and Sam Adekugbe.
Vancouver Whitecaps predicted lineup vs Orlando City (4-2-3-1): Takaoka; Ocampo, Halbouni, Blackmon, Laborda; Berhalter, Cubas; Sabbi, Muller, Nelson; White.
Orlando City SC vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction
- Pick: Orlando City SC to win
- Odds: -125 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Orlando City SC 2-1 Vancouver Whitecaps
Orlando City head into the clash as clear favorites, expected to secure a comfortable win. Even though they tend to be a tad more conservative than their opponents in the final third, their precision in attack makes them stand out in the league. The Lions also beat Vancouver the last time these two met in MLS.
Defensively, Orlando’s high line should cause the Caps problems, with the Canadian side’s forwards likely to get caught offside on multiple occasions. For the hosts, creating weighted passes in midfield to allow their attackers to play through the lines will be key.
Orlando City SC vs Vancouver Whitecaps Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Orlando City SC to score the first goal
- Odds: -179 (20Bet)
Orlando City, with their wide midfielders who frequently send lobbed balls and crosses into the box, will be expected to score the first goal, as they’re well-known for starting matches on the front foot, especially at home.
For the Whitecaps, defensive focus will be critical. They’ll need to brush up on their zonal marking skills if they are to prevent their opponents from taking control of the game. Orlando’s four-man midfield is renowned for possessing a wealth of vision and creating scoring opportunities.
