My Prediction
Orlando City SC by 2Well folks, if you're the one for statistics and blinky numbers, we got a feast here for you. Let's start with Orlando's shot stoppers. We got Pedro Gallese doing backflips in the net with a rating of 6.70 and 7 saves. Solid numbers, I must concur.
Now, for the Charlottes, we got David Bingham and Kristijan Kahlina sharing the goalkeeping duties. Bingham's fetching a 7.50 rating while Kahlina is not far behind with a 6.50. Nothing like having two strong keepers to keep them soccer balls out, yeah?
Let's move on to the main stage performers, shall we?
Orlando City has a whole host of folks catching the soccer-watching eyes. The dazzling Marco Pašalić with a robust 7.97 rating and 3 goals. Martín Ojeda has been delivering precise passes, gaining a 7.90 rating. Then there's the gritty Rodrigo Schlegel laying brick walls in defence, sporting a 7.25 rating.
On the Charlotte FC's side, Pep Biel and Idan Toklomati Jorno have been particularly impressive, boasting ratings of 7.50 and 7.37, respectively. And not to forget Souleyman Doumbia who's proving he's handy with a 6.90 rating, a dependable workhorse for sure, them Charlotte folks might say.
Talking about past duels, it's Orlando City SC having the upper hand with a more favourable win-loss count. If historical data could whisper sweet nothings into your ears, it'd probably show a thumbs up for Orlando.
The current season record shows a little edge for Orlando too. Respectable 9-6-5 for Orlando and a not-so-flag waving 8-1-11 for Charlotte.
As for recent events, Orlando has been a bit on a rollercoaster ride while Charlotte looks like they've been staring at the face of defeat a tad too much for comfort.
Considering these tales of the tape, Orlando looks to be the more promising bet. However, this is soccer we are talking about, not some tea leaf reading. Anyways, here's what my guts tell me, for those who are into predictions like it's some sort of X-Men superpower.
