Orlando City vs Nashville Prediction
Orlando certainly doesn’t come into this game in the greatest form. They’re just 1-2-2 in their last five outings, losing to FC Cincinnati on Friday in a rather lifeless attacking display. The Lions were kept scoreless in the 1-0 defeat, registering a mere two shots on target and only seven in total.

However, there is a reason for optimism heading into Wednesday’s clash. The Lions are unbeaten on home soil this term, compiling an impressive 4-4-0 record. A draw will obviously not do the trick here since it’s a cup competition, but they’ll be feeling confident a win can be in the cards in front of the Orlando City faithful, who have injected them with life all year.

Nashville meanwhile is in respectable form at the moment, tasting defeat just once in their last five games. Saturday was a very convincing result for Gary Smith’s side, running riot on DC United in a 3-1 win. Daniel Lovitz scored an early opener in the sixth minute before Hany Mukhtar netted one of his two goals in the match just before the halftime whistle.

The midfielder also booked Nashville’s spot in the quarterfinals of this competition with an impressive finish against Louisville in the previous round. The German was just named MLS Week 16 Player of the Week and will surely play a key part in their attack against Orlando, having already bagged 10 goals and supplied three assists in 2022 across all competitions.

Orlando City vs Nashville Pick
Orlando’s flawless form at home is certainly intriguing here, but I like how Nashville is playing. They’re coming off a phenomenal all-around performance and have one of the most lethal players in the MLS right now in Mukhtar. I expect it to be close, but the visitors will find themselves in the semifinals. The over is also worth a bet.
Pick: Nashville (+225), Over 2.5 Goals (+110)
