Orlando City FC will take a break from their MLS campaign to take on a tough English Premier League team in Arsenal. Arsenal heads into this tilt with two straight wins by a combined score of 7-3. They beat Everton two goals to nil in Baltimore, but now travel south to face Orlando City FC at Exploria Stadium. Orlando City FC is not in the best form heading into this interclub friendly, with just two wins in their last eight matches. They have two losses and four draws in this current stretch as well.

The recent stretch has not hindered Orlando City FC as they sit in fifth place in the Eastern Conference table with 30 points. Arsenal gives Orlando a little break in the MLS season, but it will still be a class up in competition. Mikel Arteta, former Arsenal midfielder, has been at the helm since the 2019 season and looks to get Arsenal to improve on the eight place EPL finish in 2021.

The preseason tour has surprised some of the Arsenal faithful as Arteta has chosen to go with experienced players over youth. The tenure of Arteta could be defined by this upcoming season, especially with the amount of money Arsenal spent to sign the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Matt Turner, Fabio Viera, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Marquinhos.

The preseason Arsenal tour will not feature all their new signings, but Matt Turner and Gabriel Jesus will be good to go. While Arsenal will be missing a few pieces, Orlando City FC remains relatively healthy. Even so, Arsenal has more talent.

bet365 Sportsbook also agrees that the talent level of Arsenal is far superior to that of the Orlando City FC. They have the 3-way line set to -450 for Arsenal to win the match. If you like the draw, considering Orlando City FC has been in four draws in their last eight games, bet365 has that price set to +500. Orlando City FC to pull off that big upset is priced at +800. A $100 wager on Orlando City FC would net a $800 profit!
