5 statistical facts ahead of the upcoming MLS tour
In soccer, the main task of teams is quite logical — to send the ball into the opponent's goal, and not piddle with it in the center of the field. In MLS this rule is completely realized. No one will look for gaps in the defense and measure the technical characteristics of the players. The main reason for the interest in MLS among adequate bettors is some trends and patterns that distinguish this tournament.

Orlando City — 8 games, 5 wins, 0 losses.
Philadelphia Union — 8 matches, 7 wins, 0 losses.
