PawedCast Episode 473: Red Bulls Rewind, OCB-New England, Montreal Preview, and More
Lions play to another scoreless draw while OCB keeps getting results at home.
Orlando City played much better against the New York Red Bulls than it did on the road at Philadelphia, but a lack of finishing precision and two ill-advised yellow cards on Rodrigo Schlegel eventually turned a game full of promise into an exercise in protecting a point. To their credit, the Lions did that, but the way they’d been dominating play, it was a disappointing home result, despite running the team’s unbeaten streak to five games.
We look back at our score predictions to see if we came close, discuss the game’s big talking points, and make our selections for Man of the Match.
The mailbagbox asks about Orlando being a defensive-minded team now, our first dates, David Brekalo at left back, and more. Remember, if there’s anything — and we do mean anything — you want us to address on the show, just ask us by tweeting it to us at @TheManeLand with the hashtag #AskTMLPC, or hitting us up on Bluesky Social with that same hashtag.
OCB became the first team to score on New England Revolution II last week, as Shak Mohammed’s late goal lifted the Young Lions to a 1-0 home victory. The reserve team is off to a strong start, but may be shorthanded Tuesday night against Inter Miami after several OCB players took part in the Generation Adidas Cup group stage from Saturday through Monday.
Orlando City is right back on the road for its fifth away match in seven games Saturday night when the Lions visit Stade Saputo to face CF Montreal. We look at the series history, provide our key matchups to the game, and try our hand at making our final score predictions for the match.
