Minnesota United vs Orlando City - Major League Soccer

Pereyra lights the fuse

Minnesota United is at home with a confident Pereyra, freshly awarded the goal of the weekend. As the team's top assister with 17 assists, he knows how to find Kelvin Yeboah, already on 10 goals this season. At home, this connection can do damage.

Orlando without its boss

Orlando City arrives weakened: Martín Ojeda, the club's top scorer with 11 goals and leading creator, is ruled out. The new Brazilian defender Vinícius Nogueira strengthens the backline, but up front, the attacking load now falls on Antoine Griezmann's shoulders.

Two leaky defenses

Minnesota is without four defenders (Stroud, Romero, Harvey, and Triantis), a backline to be reshuffled against a team that has scored in eleven of its last six outings. Their only recent meeting, in fact, produced an entertaining 2-3, with both teams finding the back of the net.

We're betting on both teams to score. Pereyra and Yeboah to get Minnesota going, Griezmann and an attack that's still lively on the Florida side, all against two weakened defenses. The confidence is decent for seeing the net bulge at both ends, albeit slightly tempered by Ojeda's absence. Avoid: betting on an outright winner, this match is too open for that.
