Prediction
Orlando City SC 1, Philadelphia Union 1
Moneyline (ML)
Philadelphia Union (+150) is the slight favorite here, with surprising Orlando City SC (+170) a tempting play at this price level. Both sides won their first two matches of Group A play and are through to the Round of 16, so don't be surprised to see each side power down.
Orlando is fairly healthy, with no notable injuries to report; however, Santos is nicked for the Doopers, coming off at the half last time out after playing with a leg injury. It wouldn't be surprising to see him sit in this one to get fit for the knockout stages.
Neither side is likely to push hard, so a DRAW (+260) play makes sense, and could be rather lucrative, too.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 2.5(+115) is also rather attractive. Philadelphia's defense and goalkeeping have been like a brick wall through two in Central Florida, conceding just one goal, while Orlando has allowed just two markers. Both sides are likely to gladly play a defensive slog, and more than two goals would be a major shocker.
