Orlando City has only lost outright once in the Lions' last eight appearances. But you won't find many soccer gamblers showing off the team's hot streak as a trend. Orlando has gone three full matches without scoring a goal, yet the back line remains so stubborn that the Lions posted three straight draws. The glass will be half-full or half-empty when Orlando City meets Atlanta United this Saturday at 7:15 p.m. EST.
MLS odds in April have had a funny syndrome in which Las Vegas refuses to reduce total-goals lines and odds, even when teams are playing conservative soccer and recording 0-0 draws as a habit. Orlando City and Atlanta United's goal-total line is at least offering a steeper payoff on winning over-total-goals picks.
Atlanta United's attack has been far superior in spurts, but it's not good news for the Peach State that Atlanta's going on the road to Orlando. Neither of Atlanta United's league wins this season has come in away games; Atlanta hasn't won in any competition on the road since before the 2025 MLS season started, and the club only split a pair of road friendlies versus second-level teams in January.

Orlando City vs Atlanta United Predictions and Picks
Orlando City blogger S. Andrew DeSalvo thinks that the Lions' untimely red cards have combined with minor injuries to keep manager Óscar Pareja from being able to press the attack. "In both (red card) games Orlando City substituted on a defender for a key attacking player within four minutes of the red card, removing Marco Pašalić against New York and Luis Muriel against Montréal."
Not trying for goals against Montreal isn't a sign of confidence. Atlanta's attack is looking dreary too, though, with just one penalty goal from Miguel Almirón scored since the Five Stripes won a 4-3 corker over New York City Football Club on March 29. Atlanta may be reverting to its usual also-ran status.
You don't make spectacular picks on a team that can't find the net. Saturday's probable outcome is a clinical 1-0 or 2-1 win for Orlando City, making both tallies a good find in exact-score prop bets.
