Orlando City SC and St. Louis CITY will meet for just the second time in Major League Soccer history when the Florida club visits the Gateway City tonight at 8:30 p.m. EST.
After facing opponents like Miami, Portland, and Nashville in late spring, a trip to St. Louis feels like a reprieve for the Lions. But as has been the case with much of Orlando's season thus far, the visit could prove to be an unexpected hurdle. St. Louis CITY has been showing signs of life on home grounds, defeated only once in six appearances since dropping three points to Columbus back in April.
Orlando has the talent to make Missouri's good times into a mirage. Tonight's tentative sportsbook odds on Orlando tell a different story, one related to the shaky goaltending that the Lions have had at times.

Orlando City SC vs St. Louis CITY Predictions and Picks
Orlando City and Inter Miami have become comparable teams, at least as long as Miami's starting keeper is out, and Orlando's starting keeper is a topic of debate. Orlando GK Pedro Gallese's shutout of Colorado helped the Lions regain their defensive form in a 1-0 win over the Rapids last weekend. When Gallese allows howlers instead, Orlando's backs come unstuck trying to do too much, just like Inter Miami's.
Orlando's manager Oscar Pareja thinks Gallese is trending up, according to Michael Citro of The Mane Land. "We have one of the best goalkeepers in the league," Pareja said after the win over Colorado.
If that seems true tonight, it will be due to Orlando's softening slate. St. Louis' upturn has benefited from facing easier opponents like San Jose and the LA Galaxy. That ends now with a likely loss to Orlando.
