With a record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last four matches, the Lions are sitting at 11th in the league. They've scored 9 goals but have conceded 10, highlighting their defensive frailties.

At home, Orlando City boasts a reasonable shot average of 15 with 6 goals scored. The notable statistic is their over 2.5 goals trend, with all four of their matches this season exceeding 2.5 goals. For fans and analysts alike, it’s a clear indication that Orlando is determined to entertain.

They are placed 8th in the standings, with 1 win and no losses, which reflects their resilience on the road. Their attacking capabilities seem solid, having scored 6 goals in total while conceding only 5.

DC United's well-rounded performances include a conservative approach paired with efficient attacks, as seen in their recent 2-1 victory against Sporting KC. They possess a better average of dangerous attacks and shots per game compared to Orlando, signaling their threat level when on the ball.

Head-to-Head History

Digging into the historical encounters, the last match-up between these two sides resulted in a staggering 5-0 win for Orlando City, showcasing their attacking prowess. However, past performances can only tell us so much, as each match brings new dynamics into play.
