Prediction
All signs point to a potential breakout performance for Orlando City Saturday night. The Lions are full of frustration after Wednesday's draw with Tigres, and Charlotte are the exact type of bad team Orlando could overcome those demons against.
With that being said, the soccer gods surely have a sense of humor to make all of those seemingly sensible trends meaningless. This post doesn't adhere to weird magic or silliness, so this prediction comes down to just the soccer.
Orlando is a much better team than Charlotte, and even on short rest the Lions are the clear favorites to get their second win of the season.
Score Prediction: 2-0 Orlando City win
Goals: Ercan Kara, Martín Ojeda
