Orlando City vs Nashville SC

Orlando City (+111) is the 3-way money line favorite over Nashville SC (+215) with a draw at +265 odds. The 3.0 game total has slight juice towards the UNDER (-118).

The host Lions are coming off a 1-1 draw against D.C. United last Saturday. That was their first action since losing to Inter Miami 3-1 in the League Cup semifinal before falling 2-1 to the LA Galaxy in the third-place match.

The Boys in Gold struggling of late

Nashville SC (+215) is looking to avoid a third-straight defeat after falling 2-1 to Cincinnati and 1-0 versus Atlanta United.

The Boys in Gold have dropped four of their past five contests. They also have five straight losses as the visitors with their last road victory coming way back in June.

Recent history

Nashville SC defeated Orlando City 5-1 back on Aug. 23rd. Most Valuable Player candidate Sam Surridge recorded his third brace and fifth multi-goal game of 2025. Heading into Saturday's matchup, Surridge is leading the Golden Boot race with 21 goals, two ahead of superstar Lionel Messi (19) from Inter Miami CF.

Back in May, the Boys in Gold went on the road and handed Orlando City a 3-2 loss in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 16. However, the Lions will enjoy a rest advantage for this one as they haven't played since last Saturday. Meanwhile, Nashville SC played Philadelphia in a U.S. Open Cup semi-final showdown on Tuesday.

Orlando City vs Nashville SC Picks

While Orlando City is 7-4-3 at home and Nashville is just 5-8-2 on the road, the Boys in Gold have had the Lions' number of late. In what should be a tight battle between two Eastern Conference playoff clubs, we'll take a draw at +265 with the OVER 3.0 (-102).
