Orlando City vs NY Red Bulls Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

A place in the MLS Cup final is at stake.

Orlando City SC will host the New York Red Bulls in the Eastern Conference finals. No one saw these two teams making their way to the final as they were competing against Inter Miami, Columbus Crew, and Cincinnati. Orlando City overcame Charlotte in the MLS playoffs ‘Best of Three’ series on penalties and then secured a narrow 1-0 win over Atlanta United on their road to the final. They finished fourth in the regular MLS season with 52 points from 34 games.

New York Red Bulls on the other hand pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the ongoing MLS season when they knocked out the defending champions, Columbus Crew. Despite losing the first encounter, the Red Bulls kept on pushing and secured impressive wins in the following two fixtures. They followed that up with a professional 2-0 win over New York City in the Conference Semi-finals.
