Back BTTS & Over 2.5 Goals in New England v Orlando @ 1.865/6

Tobias Gourlay's counting on New England and Orlando to deliver the entertainment in tonight's MLS

In Izmir last night, Turkey were 2-0 up on Lithuania just after the break. But then they stalled, missed a penalty and fell short of our handicap target.

We've crossed the pond today to see New England's MLS home game with Orlando City and we're hoping they're going to put on a show for us.

Since 2019, New England's four league games with Orlando have finished 4-1, 3-3, 2-1 and 2-2. A BTTS & Over 2.5 Goals double would've landed in all four.

Recently, Bruce Arena's hosts have struck seven times across their last four home matches. Going back into last term, they've conceded at least once in 17/21 at Gillette Stadium. So they look capable of scoring and conceding again today.

Orlando are outsiders for this one, but they've notched at least once on six straight road trips and - up against that shaky home defence - the Lions can help get this one to Over 2.5 Goals. Using the Sportsbook's Bet Builder, we'll back BTTS & Over 2.5 Goals to land again tonight.
