🗞️ Team News: Orlando City

Wilder Cartagena (Achilles tendon rupture), Favian Loyola (Torn muscle bundle) and Yutaro Tsukada (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing for Orlando City boss Óscar Pareja.

In our view, The Lions will possibly kick off with a 4-4-2 system for the game featuring Pedro Gallese, Alex Freeman, R. Adrian Schlegel, Robin Jansson, David Brekalo, Marco Pasalic, Joran Gerbet, Cesar Araujo, Ivan Angulo, Martin Ojeda and Luis Muriel.

📋 Team News: Charlotte FC

Charlotte FC manager Dean Smith has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Jahlane Forbes (Muscle injury), Nimfasha Berchimas (Foot injury) and Brandon Cambridge (Muscle injury) miss out here.

We are inclined to think that Charlotte FC could decide to play in a 4-3-3 system, choosing Kristijan Kahlina, Adilson Malanda, Andrew Privett, Tim Ream, J. Marshall-Rutty, Pep Biel, Ashley Westwood, Brandt Bronico, Liel Abada, Idan Toklomati and Wilfried Zaha.

🔮 Prediction

In our opinion, Charlotte FC are likely to get a goal against this Orlando City lineup, but it isn’t expected to be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re predicting a 2-1 victory for Orlando City at the end of the match. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
