Major League Soccer odds, picks and predictions for Toronto FC vs Orlando City SC for May 14. MLS betting free picks for side, total and more.

While Toronto is one of the only two teams with fewer shots than Orlando this season, they put nearly half of their attempts on target. The only exception was a 0-0 draw in their first away match at Chicago. As for the hosts, it’s now been 19 matches since Toronto held a team off the scoresheet, and they're conceding two goals per match on the season. Take Orlando City’s team total over 1.5 as Toronto gives up multiple goals for the fourth time in five matches. Toronto players were dispossessed 19 times last week by Vancouver, and now face an Orlando City team that ranks as one of the best in the league at winning back the ball. Furthermore, Toronto’s last seven home matches have seen at least three goals scored in each, with both sides finding the back of the net. While Orlando have not created the most chances this season, they have managed to convert a decent amount of them. They attempted just two shots in the defeat, and their 102 shots this season are the third-fewest in MLS. However, they rank seventh in the league in passing completion percentage, and their defense is exceptionally stout away from home. The Lions come to town on the heels of their first away defeat of the season, as they fell 4-1 to CF Montreal last weekend. Their defense has had more holes than a Connect-4 board of late, and it should give Orlando more opportunities than usual. Following a solid start to their 2022 campaign, Toronto FC are in the midst of a four-match losing skid. While Toronto has fallen in four straight, they have reasons to feel a bit aggrieved about last week’s 1-0 defeat at Vancouver. After missing a first half penalty that would have given them the lead, things got worse when their opening goal was taken off the board by a VAR review. Here are our Toronto FC vs Orlando City picks and predictions for Saturday, May 14.
