Prediction: 1-1
Columbus Crew
Orlando City will look to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Cincinnati when they face Columbus Crew on Sunday morning. The Lions have been in a fine form of late, with the team recording four wins in the previous five league matches and they must be brimming with confidence ahead of the visit of Columbus. Midfielder Wilder Cartagena misses out through suspension, while all Favian Loyola, Antonio Carlos, and Gaston Gonzalez are sidelined through injuries.
The Crew, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Houston Dynamo, with the team outplaying Montreal 4-2 on the road, but beating Orlando at Exploria Stadium is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Midfielder William Sands misses out with a knee injury, but there are no suspended players in the visiting side.
Highlighted Team (Orlando City):
Orlando City are a member of the Eastern Conference in Major League Soccer. The Lions have been participating in the major league since 2015 and they host their rivals at Orlando City Stadium. The venue was opened in February, 2017 and the construction of the stadium cost $155 million. Orlando City finished the 2015 MLS season in seventh place in the Eastern Conference and they failed to make it to the play-offs in the 2016 season as well (8th place).
Brazilian ace Kaka is undisputedly the club’s most famous player and the former Real Madrid and Milan man became the highest-paid player in MLS history. His base salary was $6.6 million per year and it has to be noted that the Brazilian superstar found the net on his Orlando City debut against FC Dallas (friendly). Orlando City’s home kit is violet, while they wear white and violet shirts and white socks on the travels. The club’s official mascot is Kingston the Lion.
