ORL vs SS Dream11 Team Prediction | Major League Soccer– Seattle Saunders vs Orlando City SC Fantasy Team News

ORL vs SS Match Preview, Team News, Lineups

Seattle Sounders will be looking for their second consecutive win when they host a struggling Orlando City in the MLS regular season at CenturyLink Field.

ORL vs SS Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
Seattle Sounders are averaging two points per game this season, which is a better return than last season. With 22 points from 11 regular season games, they are sitting 3rd in the Western Conference.

For a team which won the MLS Cup as recently as in 2016, and made to the MLS finals in 2017, the expectations remain sky high. Whether Sounders achieve the ultimate prize this season, remains to be seen, but the way they have started this regular season shows that Brian Schmetzer‘s team could go the distance.

Our final home match for six weeks ?

Seattle won 1-0 against Houston Dynamo in the last match which was their first win in over a month, and first in six league games.

Orlando City could do with a win here after losing the last two games heading into this match. They are third from bottom and are on a three-game winless run.

Last season, City finished last in the Eastern Conference and qualifying for the playoffs looks a task too tough to achieve for this group of players.

Cristian Roldan has taken his game to the next level this season. He is the link between the defense and the forward line. His passing skills are too good and factor in his reading of the game, interceptions, and tackling, you get a versatile player.

Stefan Frei should be your goalkeeper here. He is in tremendous form, having completed his 70th MLS career shut-out against Houston Dynamo.

He is also tied for third most clean sheets this season and has made second-most saves in MLS regular season in 2019.

Nani (if he plays) and Dom Dwyer:
Nani has five goals to his name this season and he has also contributed with a team-high 4 assists as well. But he is a doubt for this game after missing the match against Houston with a left calf strain.

But Dom Dwyer could be a good option for a vice-captain role. Not only he has three goals to his name, but he has an 8 career goal against Seattle Sounders.
