Orlando City vs DC United Prediction & Betting Tips | 07/07/2024 | Football

Posted on by Matthew Reynolds

Our prediction for this MLS match:

Orlando City

Orlando City

DC United

DC United

Orlando City will look to build on a 2-1 win over FC Toronto when they face DC United at Inter&Co Stadium. The Lions quickly bounced back from a 4-2 loss to New York City and they are now on a quest to record their third home win of the process. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Mason Stajduhar, Michael Halliday, and Tahir Reid-Brown remain in the recovery room.

The capital club, on the other hand, are sitting at the bottom of the table with only 20 points on their account. Given DC United’s poor form in the Major League Soccer, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Orlando City. Gabriel Pirani is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while Cristian Dajome is back from suspension. All Tubbs, Fletcher, Hopkins, Birnbaum, Antley, and Canouse remain on the sidelines with injuries.

Highlighted Player (Christian Benteke):

Christian Benteke

Christian Benteke, born on 3th of December 1990 is a Belgian football player with roots from Congo. Benteke started his career at KRC Genk and after playing for Standard Liege, KV Mechelen, KV Kortrijk and Aston Villa the striker got transferred to Liverpool. Benteke is 191cm and is known for being a very strong goal scoring striker. In May 2010 Benteke made his debut for the Belgian national team.

Christian Benteke didn’t win any mayor prices yet. In the season 2008/2009 he won the national league of Belgium. Benteke is signed by Nike and got transferred to Liverpool for 46 million euro which makes him the second most expensive football player from Belgium. Benteke’s nickname is The Beast or Bentegoal.

Highlighted Team (Orlando City):

Orlando City

Orlando City are a member of the Eastern Conference in Major League Soccer. The Lions have been participating in the major league since 2015 and they host their rivals at Orlando City Stadium. The venue was opened in February, 2017 and the construction of the stadium cost $155 million. Orlando City finished the 2015 MLS season in seventh place in the Eastern Conference and they failed to make it to the play-offs in the 2016 season as well (8th place).

Brazilian ace Kaka is undisputedly the club’s most famous player and the former Real Madrid and Milan man became the highest-paid player in MLS history. His base salary was $6.6 million per year and it has to be noted that the Brazilian superstar found the net on his Orlando City debut against FC Dallas (friendly). Orlando City’s home kit is violet, while they wear white and violet shirts and white socks on the travels. The club’s official mascot is Kingston the Lion.
