MLS Prediction Today: Toronto vs Orlando Sure Tips

The 2025 Major League Soccer regular season concludes this weekend, with Toronto FC hosting Orlando City SC at the BMO Field on Saturday night. Here’s our full breakdown and Toronto vs Orlando City prediction. While both teams will be eager to finish the campaign on a high, their motivations differ; Orlando has already booked a playoff spot. At the same time, Toronto looks to end a disappointing year with a morale-boosting result in front of its fans. Betting Preview for Toronto vs Orlando City Venue: BMO Field, Toronto, Canada Date: Saturday, October 4, 2025 Time: 19:30 EST Teams: Toronto FC vs Orlando City SC Odds (via 1XBet) Betting on Toronto FC  1XBet Spread: +0.25  1XBet Moneyline: 3.60  1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5 Toronto’s 2025 MLS season has been one to forget. With only five wins from 33 matches, the Reds have languished near the foot of the Eastern Conference table and will finish among the bottom three regardless of Saturday’s result. Coach John Herdman will be demanding one final show of character from his side as they close the campaign at home. Despite their poor run, Toronto have shown flashes of fight at BMO Field, with three of their five wins this season coming on home soil.  Betting on Orlando City SC  1XBet Spread: –0.25  1XBet Moneyline: 2.00  1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5 Orlando City have already secured a playoff berth, but their recent form has been concerning. Óscar Pareja’s side are winless in their last five MLS outings and have managed just one victory in their last 10 matches across all competitions, a run that has seen them drop to seventh place in the Eastern Conference with 53 points. Despite their dip in form, Orlando remain one of the more disciplined and organized sides in the league. Their defensive structure and ability to grind out narrow results have often compensated for their lack of attacking flair.  MatchPlug Prediction for Toronto vs Orlando City This fixture brings together two sides who have struggled to find consistency in recent weeks. With both teams lacking sharpness in the final third, this clash has all the makings of a cagey, low-scoring draw. Expect a cautious approach from both managers. Final Prediction: Draw (1-1)

MLS Prediction Today: New York City vs Seattle Sounders

New York City host Seattle Sounders at Yankee Stadium on Saturday in their final game of the league phase of the 2025 MLS season. Here’s our full breakdown and New York City vs Seattle Sounders prediction. Both teams have already sealed their playoff spots and will be aiming to build momentum heading into the postseason. With two of the league’s most balanced squads going head-to-head, this promises to be a tightly contested matchup in the Bronx. Betting Preview for New York City vs Seattle Sounders Venue: Yankee Stadium, New York City, USA Date: Saturday, October 4, 2025 Time: 19:30 EST Teams: New York City FC vs Seattle Sounders Odds (via 1XBet) Betting on New York City FC Spread: –0.25 Moneyline: 2.10 Over/Under: Over 2.5 New York City FC head into their final regular-season match looking to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat to Philadelphia Union last weekend. A first-half goal from Mikael Uhre proved decisive as Pascal Jansen’s men struggled to find a breakthrough despite dominating possession for large spells of the match. Still, it’s been a strong end to the campaign for the Boys in Blue, who sit fifth in the Eastern Conference with 56 points from 33 games. Their qualification for the playoffs is already secured, and they’ll now be focused on finishing the league phase on a high. NYCFC’s recent form has been impressive, seven wins from their last ten MLS fixtures. Betting on Seattle Sounders Spread: +0.25 Moneyline: 3.30 Over/Under: Under 2.5 On the other side, Seattle Sounders travel east having rediscovered their form at the perfect time. After enduring a four-match winless run following their 2025 Leagues Cup triumph over Inter Miami (3-0), Brian Schmetzer’s men have bounced back with consecutive 1-0 victories over Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake. Those results have solidified their fifth-place position in the Western Conference with 52 points, ensuring their playoff qualification with a game to spare. MatchPlug Prediction for New York City vs Seattle Sounders This clash features two playoff-bound teams looking to fine-tune their rhythm before the knockout stages. Given both teams’ solid recent form and their likely focus on avoiding injuries before the playoffs, this fixture could lean toward a cagey, tactical affair with few clear-cut chances. Expect a hard-fought draw between two evenly matched sides. Final Prediction: Draw

Jokić upbeat about revamped Nuggets and long-term future in Denver

Nikola Jokić says he’s thrilled with the Denver Nuggets’ offseason overhaul and feels optimistic about the team’s future. Denver added depth after falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a seven-game second-round series last spring. The roster shake-up also included new veterans, coach David Adelman shedding his interim title, and a front-office switch to Ben Tenzer and Jonathan Wallace after trading Michael Porter Jr. to the Nets. “I mean, they definitely changed the team,” Jokić said. The Nuggets’ improved rotation is designed to keep players fresh for another deep playoff push. Jokić also stands to benefit next summer, when he can sign a four-year, $293 million extension — nearly $80 million more than he could have signed for this year. “I mean, I don’t think about it,” Jokić said. “Those contract extensions come as a reward… especially in today’s NBA with how the salary cap is growing.” Jokić, now in the third season of his five-year, $276 million supermax deal, hinted at his long-term commitment: “My plan is to be a Nugget forever.”

Messi joins elite MLS 40+ goal contribution club

Lionel Messi made more history in Inter Miami’s 4-1 win over New England Revolution on Saturday. The Argentine star recorded three assists, reaching 41 goal contributions this season (24 goals, 17 assists). He’s now just the second player in MLS history to hit at least 40 combined goals and assists in a single regular season, joining Carlos Vela’s 49 with LAFC in 2019. Messi assisted Tadeo Allende’s opener in the 32nd minute, then set up Jordi Alba’s goal before halftime. After New England cut the lead to 2-1 in the 59th minute, Messi immediately provided another assist for Allende’s second. Alba later completed his brace. “He keeps showing the ability he has and the ambition to go for more,” Miami coach Javier Mascherano said. Messi has two games left to chase Vela’s record. Miami sit third in the Eastern Conference with 59 points, eyeing a top-four finish for home-field advantage in the MLS Cup Playoffs.

Chicago Fire FC confirmed Thursday that midfielder André Franco will miss the rest of the 2025 MLS season with a torn ACL.

Phil Neville brings Sir Alex Ferguson mindset to Portland Timbers

Many doubted the Portland Timbers before the 2025 season. MLS pundits Bradley Wright-Phillips (11th) and Sacha Kljestan (12th) predicted they’d miss the playoffs, while Kaylyn Kyle had them just sneaking in at eighth. Now, with Portland close to clinching a second straight postseason berth under head coach Phil Neville, the Englishman is having the last laugh. “I’ve got a post ready for when we make the playoffs: ‘Apple TV, change your bloody pundits because they are useless,’” Neville joked on This is MLS. “I get it, guys. I forgive you.” ‘Play the game, not the occasion’ Reflecting on his 15 years at Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson, Neville said his philosophy focuses on character over tactics. “We didn’t do tactics. We just trained character,” Neville explained. “Coaches hide behind tactics nowadays… but the personality and character of the player is what gets you over the line.” The Timbers visit the Seattle Sounders FC  on Saturday in a crucial Cascadia Cup clash (10:30 pm ET | MLS Season Pass). A win could seal their playoff spot as they look to avenge last season’s 5-0 Wild Card loss to Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Neville believes success now depends on resilience: “The best players in MLS right now are the ones competing. The best teams are the ones that can compete… that’s the key for us going into the playoffs.”

Toluca FC stun LA Galaxy to win 2025 Campeones Cup

Toluca FC lifted the 2025 Michelob Ultra Campeones Cup on Wednesday night, beating the LA Galaxy 3-2 in a dramatic finish at Dignity Health Sports Park. The Galaxy twice went ahead in the back-and-forth clash of the MLS and LIGA MX champions, but Toluca came from behind both times before Federico Pereira scored the decisive winner in the 94th minute. Diego Fagúndezput LA ahead from the penalty spot after Gabriel Pec  was fouled on a dazzling first-half run. Nicolás Castro leveled for Toluca in the 53rd minute with a stunning long-range strike. Pec then looked to have won it for the Galaxy late on, finishing a quick counter to make it 2-1. Toluca answered almost immediately as Franco Romero smashed in an 85th-minute equalizer. Deep into stoppage time, Pereira struck from close range to seal the 3-2 victory. A disallowed goal for Toluca FC star forward Paulinho moments before LA’s second added to the drama, but the Mexican side ultimately left California with the silverware.
