Orlando City SC vs Charlotte Best odds and tips

Orlando City SC are unbeaten in five games across all competitions (W2, D3) and have been particularly strong at home in MLS 2025, winning three, drawing two and losing only once of their six home fixtures. They have averaged 2.67 goals per game at home in the MLS 2025 season, scoring 16 goals in total from their six home matches, while Charlotte have averaged 1.00 goals per game on their travels, conceding 1.83. Orlando City’s high-octane, transition-based game can be a thrilling watch, but they are prone to the odd wobble in defence and coach Oscar Pareja has struggled to find the right balance.

Dean Smith’s side are a bit more disciplined and structured in their buildup play and will try to be clinical in their chances rather than get sucked into an end-to-end game that they are likely to lose. Charlotte FC are 10th in MLS 2025 with 19 points from 12 games, one point ahead of Orlando City SC who are 14th in the MLS 2025 Eastern Conference. The two clubs are in the middle of a tight battle and this game could have significant implications for the play-off race.

Martín Ojeda is Orlando’s main threat, scoring seven goals in 12 MLS 2025 appearances, while Liel Abada has been Charlotte’s main man up front with four goals in 11 games, three of which have come in their last five. Pep Biel is another big player for the visitors, providing the creative spark and six assists in 11 MLS 2025 appearances, but Orlando should have too much firepower for Charlotte to handle.
