Columbus Crew Orlando City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Columbus Crew need to show good football from now on so that they can get good results from now on and rise on the standings. Orlando City are in a similar situation as their opponents and want to score at least one point away from home, which will be very positive. Both teams need a good result, so they should both leave for the game. This leads us to believe that more than 2.5 goals will occur until the final whistle.

Analysis Columbus

The home team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a home loss by (0‑1) against Sporting KC. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 3 draws and 11 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home league matches Columbus Crew has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 14 points out of 30 possible. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (4 out of 10 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 11 of their 17 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 10 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 12 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Recently Columbus Crew ended up having oscillations and today their focus is to grow back in MLS. The idea is to get as many good results as possible, because up front this can make a big difference. The campaign that they have been doing has ended up getting a bit worse and now the focus is to improve it again. Even playing against an opponent which has similar goals there is the importance in scoring points and will go after that. Today's focus is on getting back into the playoffs, so winning is ideal. For having a very united squad Columbus Crew will try to nullify the visiting team scoring strong and not letting them touch the ball. A positive result is what matters to them, so it is not just avoiding conceding goals that works. On the contrary, the team should be effective in attack as well, after all if they score goals they can have a better score. In short, the hosts want a perfect performance not to have a stumble in the current duel. In this match Josh Williams, Federico Higuain and Milton Valenzuela will be left out because they are in the medical department.

Confirmed Lineup: Jon Kempin, Alex Crognale, Waylon Francis, Gastón Sauro, Artur, Robinho, Luis Argudo, Héctor Jimenez, David Guzmán, Pedro Santos, Jerome Williams.
Coach: C. Porter.

Analysis Orlando

The away team comes to this stage of the MLS (Regular Season) after a away loss by (1‑0) against DC United. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 24 conceded. In the last 8 away league matches Orlando City has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 24 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (4 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 5 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Orlando City are making a poor campaign so much that they are focused on having a better campaign. Their thinking is to score in as many games as possible, so that the probability of having better numbers increases. Having said that, the team obviously want a good result in this round and will do anything to make that happen. Of course they need to be very careful over the ninety minutes so to not miss. 
Playing away from home they know that they do not have the favoritism and need to surprise. Today their game will be against a team that make a campaign similar to their own, that is, the difficulty should appear. Therefore, it is clear that they will need to play without errors and with great determination if they want a positive score. In addition, willpower and quality are essential throughout the ninety minutes. Therefore, Orlando City expect to show a good performance and with enough efficiency, so that they can have a satisfactory result. In this match Cristian Higuita, Adam Grinwis and Joao Moutinho will be left out because they are in the medical department.

Confirmed Lineup: Brian Rowe, Lamine Sané, Kyle Smith, Robin Jansson, Oriol Rosell, Sacha Kljestan, Danilo Acosta, Dillon Powers, Christopher Mueller, Nani, Tesho Akindele.
Coach: Ó. Pareja Gómez.
