Final Betting Analysis: Orlando City SC vs Sacramento Republic FC
It sure looks like Orlando City will dominate the Sacramento Republic. The USL team has lost 3-of-5, including their last match, a 3-1 game versus Louisville City on Sep. 3.
Not only that, but Orlando City is hot. Still, it’s tough to go against the Republic considering the odds. Sacramento shouldn’t offer +460 in this match.
The Republic upset the L.A. Galaxy to make it to the semifinals. Then, Sacramento beat Sporting Kansas City. So it’s not like the Republic didn’t beat a couple of decent squads on their way to the finals.
Not only that, but Orlando has been playing so well they might be due for a bounce. There’s also the chance Orlando City heads into this over confident. Sacramento is the play.
United States Open Cup Final Pick: Sacramento Republic +460
