Betting on Columbus Crew SC
It seems like Columbus Crew is going through a tough moment in its campaign, as the team has not been able to win in its last three matches. The most concerning fact is that it has suffered two defeats in a row for the first time, losing against Charlotte 1-0 and Inter Miami 1-2.
However, the team has only failed to score in one of the 10 matches it has played this season, and with 19 goals scored, it has the second-best offense in the Eastern Conference. Therefore, regardless of the final score, its goals are usually guaranteed.
The Colombus team lost its undefeated home record in its previous match and has now recorded two games without a win at home. Nevertheless, the team achieved three of its four wins in this condition. Additionally, their offensive game has been outstanding on its own field, scoring in every single home match.
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Patrick Schulte; Steven Moreira, Philip Quinton, Exon Gustavo Vallecilla; Mohamed Farsi, Aidan Morris, Darlington Nagbe, Yaw Yeboah; Alexandru Mațan, Lucas Zelarayán; Cucho Hernández.
Betting on Orlando City SC
Orlando City suffered its fourth defeat of the season over the weekend against CF Montreal, losing 2-0. This setback followed its loss to Charlotte by 0-1 in the US Open. These results marked the first time the Orlando team has suffered two defeats in a row in 2023. In the MLS, the team’s record is identical to that of Columbus Crew, recording four wins, two draws, and four losses in ten matches played.
The Florida squad remained undefeated away until last week’s match. However, it is the second-best away team with a record of two wins, one draw and one loss in four matches. However, the overall record is not so good for Orlando as it has only attained two wins in its last 10 away matches in all competitions.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Pedro Gallese; Michael Halliday, Antônio Carlos, Robin Jansson, Kyle Smith; César Araújo, Wilder Cartagena; Martín Ojeda, Facundo Torres, Iván Angulo; Ercan Kara.
