Orlando City and Columbus Crew meet in Major League Soccer at Inter&Co Stadium, with the hosts having just lost 2-4 in their last match, while the visitors have just won 2-1 on a run of consecutive wins. The two teams are clearly heading in opposite directions. Orlando City have scored 48 goals from 27 matches this season but have conceded 64, a team whose attack is serviceable but whose defense has problems. Columbus Crew, meanwhile, have scored 39 and conceded 43, more balanced numbers, and are in a period where results are going their way. On the player front, Orlando City, according to the expected lineup, will likely use Antoine Griezmann and Daryl Dike paired up front to control the attack, while Columbus Crew are expected to line up in a 3-4-3 with Josef Martinez as the target for long balls. This game should open up from the start, because at home Orlando City have seen goals in almost every first half and often take the lead before the break, while away from home Columbus Crew often trail in the first half, but in the second half the visitors tend to come back. If the hosts can still control the tempo and close out the game early, it should end with Orlando City edging the win.
