Betting List & Expert Analysis
Under 5.5 Cards (Probability: 92%)
With the match typically seeing an average of only 1.58 yellow cards, the chance of staying well below six cards is extremely high. Both teams tend to play with a controlled level of aggression, and referees in Western Conference games often favor letting play continue. Expect a fluid contest with minimal stoppages due to bookings.
Home Team To Score In 1st Half (Probability: 83%)
Orlando City’s home attack has proven potent, especially early in games. Their pace and ability to exploit spaces behind opposition defenses often translate into early goals. Charlotte’s tendency to concede early away increases the likelihood of Orlando hitting the net before halftime.
Home Team To Score In 2nd Half (Probability: 83%)
Orlando is expected to maintain offensive pressure throughout the match. As Charlotte might open up defensively in pursuit of points, Orlando’s attacking players will see late opportunities, making another home goal in the second half very probable.
Over 1.5 Goals (Probability: 75%)
With an average of 3.58 total goals per game, surpassing the 1.5 mark is statistically supported. Both teams favor open, attacking styles, and there’s little reason to expect a low-scoring stalemate.
Both Teams Not To Score In 1st Half (Probability: 67%)
Despite the overall goal expectation, Charlotte can be slow starters, especially away from home. Orlando’s defense is capable of holding firm early, so one-sided scoring before halftime is a realistic scenario.
Over 0.5 Goals HT (Probability: 67%)
Chances are very good we’ll see at least one first-half goal, aligning with both teams’ attacking statistics and historical first-half performances.
Over 2.5 Goals (Probability: 67%)
The high average goals data (3.58) make this prediction strong. These sides routinely find the net and show defensive vulnerabilities; expect at least three goals on the night.
Last Goal 73+ Minutes (Probability: 58%)
Late-match goals are common, especially with both teams pushing for a result. The statistics back this up and late substitutions may introduce attackers with fresh legs against tiring defenses.
Home Team To Win (Probability: 58%)
Orlando City’s stronger home form and superior attacking production give them a slight edge. Charlotte’s inconsistent away displays make the home win a solid prediction.
Both Teams To Score In 2nd Half (Probability: 58%)
The openness expected in the latter stages raises the likelihood that both teams will get on the scoresheet after halftime, especially if the result is in the balance.
Over 2.5 BTTS (Probability: 58%)
Both teams have the firepower to contribute to a high score, and this indicator supports goals at both ends as well as an unpredictable, action-filled game.
Both Teams To Score (Probability: 58%)
Both sides average nearly two goals per match and defense is a relative weakness for each. The outlook favors a game where neither team keeps a clean sheet.
Draw In First Half (Probability: 58%)
Although Orlando are strong at home, games between these sides have historically seen balanced and competitive first halves. There is a good chance scores are level at the break.
Under 4.5 Cards (Probability: 58%)
Reinforcing the low card total, an under 4.5 bet is well covered by overall discipline stats. Expect both teams to avoid unnecessary cautions.
Goal In Last 15 Minutes (Probability: 58%)
The late stages should be dynamic with both teams chasing results. Recent matches suggest strong likelihood of at least one goal after the 75th minute.
