Orlando City vs New York Red Bulls prediction, preview, team news and more | MLS 2021

Orlando City will aim to make it four wins on the trot when they welcome New York Red Bulls to Exploria Stadium on Saturday.

The visitors are winless in their last two MLS outings and will look to bounce back to winning ways.

Orlando City maintained their impressive form in the MLS last time out as they claimed a 2-1 win away to Inter Miami.

After former Juventus star Gonzalo Higuain gave the hosts a 67th-minute lead, goals from Chris Meuller and Nani helped Orlando City turn the game around and claim all three points.

Oscar Pareja's men have now claimed three straight victories and have only lost once in their 10 league outings.

This fine run of results has seen Orlando City rise to second place in the Eastern Conference table, two points off leaders New England Revolution.

Meanwhile, New York Red Bulls continued to struggle for results as they played out a drab draw with Atlanta United last time out.

This followed a 3-2 away defeat at the hands of league leaders New England Revolution.

Gerhard Struber's side have managed just two wins from their last six outings, picking up one draw and losing on three occasions.

With 13 points from 10 outings, New York Red Bulls are currently seventh in the Eastern Conference standings, level on points with DC United and Montreal Impact.
