Orlando City vs LAFC Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | MLS 2024⁠

The home team will be without six players for this match.

Orlando City have endured a tough start, languishing in 11th position after match 16th. They lost to the New York Red Bulls in the previous game after failing to score a goal. Óscar Pareja’s men are without a win in the last three games, with two losses and a draw.

Now, they face an in form LAFC team who have won the last seven matches. Also, Pareja will be without six first-team players after they were called up by their national teams. 

LAFC have been in impressive form in the MLS Western Conference as they occupy the second spot. They have won seven consecutive matches this season. Steve Cherundolo’s men sit behind Salt Lake who are at the top but have played one fewer game.

Cherundolo’s side have also kept six clean sheets in the last six matches highlighting the progress they have made defensively this season. They have the chance to close the gap up top with a win in this match.

Player to Watch

Luis Muriel (Orlando City) 

Luis Muriel is one of the world’s finest forwards, evident by his goal-scoring record and prowess in front of goal. He is yet to be prolific for his new team after moving in from the Italian side of Atalanta. He has scored two goals in 15 matches which is a poor return for an elite striker of his calibre.

Nevertheless, it takes time to adjust to new surroundings. Hopefully, he starts firing for his new team as they need him the most after missing a handful of players for their national teams. 

Denis Bouanga (LAFC) 

Denis Bouanga is an experienced forward who has made waves in the MLS since signing from French outfit Saint-Etienne. He had an incredible season last year and has continues to lead his team to a strong position this season. Bouanga has appeared 18 times for LAFC this season scoring 10 goals.

He also has seven assists to his name after providing a couple of assists for the team. Bouanga is back after representing Gabon in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier fixtures.
