Orlando City SC hosts Toronto FC on 13 September 2026 at 02:30 in a matchup between two teams riding recent momentum. Orlando has won two straight and climbed to sixth in the Eastern Conference with 31 points. Toronto arrives unbeaten in seven matches with 29 points and still fighting for playoff position after a 2-1 midweek win over Nashville.
Orlando's surge centres on Antoine Griezmann, who scored twice against Atlanta and has 10 goal contributions in nine MLS appearances. The Frenchman has eight goal contributions in his last five games. Justin Ellis has nine assists across all competitions. Orlando's depth takes a hit with Bryan Ohoeda and Adrián Marín unavailable through injury. Ohoeda's absence is particularly costly—the Paraguayan midfielder led the team in starts, appearances, and minutes played in MLS this season.
Toronto's stability comes from a 7-match unbeaten run built on three wins and four draws. Daniel Shalloi has scored in six consecutive matches and now has seven goals and nine assists for the season. Josh Sargent remains the primary threat in the box. Toronto's midfield loses Jorge Mihailović and Jonathan Osorio to injury, both key to ball progression and control. Nelson Palacio and Lazar Stefanović are also sidelined but less critical to the starting XI.
Orlando plays at home but faces a compressed fixture schedule—a Cup semifinal against Columbus arrives just four days after this match. Toronto has shown resilience away from home in August, beating Inter Miami 2-1 in Florida. The visitors' recent form and balanced attacking group give them genuine chances to extend their unbeaten streak.
Form and H2H
Orlando's last 10 matches show four wins, three draws, and three losses, averaging 1.80 goals for and 1.70 against. Toronto's away record over the same period reads three wins, six draws, and one loss, with 1.61 goals for and 1.40 against. The head-to-head record between these teams spans back to 2015, with Toronto holding a 3-2 edge in wins across six meetings. Their most recent clash ended 0-0 in September 2016.
Best bet
Toronto do not lose at 1.91 with 22Bet. Toronto's seven-match unbeaten run, combined with Orlando's fixture congestion and midfield injuries, favors the visitors holding at least a draw. Orlando has only six home wins in 12 league matches this season. Toronto's defensive discipline and ability to create chances even without Mihailović and Osorio make them a solid bet to avoid defeat.
Odds to watch
The 1X2 market at 22Bet prices Orlando at 1.91, the draw at 4.26, and Toronto at 3.65. Orlando's home record and Griezmann's form make the home win tempting, but Toronto's recent stability and depth of attacking options suggest value in the draw or away win. Monitor team news on Marín and Ohoeda for Orlando, and Mihailović and Osorio for Toronto, as their availability could shift the balance.
