Orlando City host Columbus Crew at Orlando City Stadium on Saturday, October 10 (7:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM CT / 4:30 PM PT).
No fresh availability concerns have been flagged for either club heading into this one. Orlando City should again lean on Martín Ojeda pulling strings in the number 10 role, with Antoine Griezmann leading the line and Tyrese Spicer offering another route to goal from midfield. Columbus Crew will look to Brais Méndez up top, with Taha Habroune and Mohamed Farsi expected to drive play through the centre of the park.
Orlando City sit seventh in the Eastern Conference on 34 points, still inside the playoff picture despite a -16 goal difference that points to a leaky defence at the back. Columbus Crew, 12th on 29 points, have shown they can score goals away from home but their own -4 goal difference suggests vulnerability at the other end too. With both sides good for goals and short on the defensive side of things, expect an open game at Inter&Co Stadium that swings in the home side’s favour.

Orlando City vs Columbus Crew Prediction
Expect goals at both ends at Inter&Co Stadium, with the hosts’ edge enough to get them over the line 2-1 against a Columbus Crew side still 12th in the East. Orlando City, seventh on 34 points, have the firepower through Ojeda and Griezmann to win the game; Columbus, 5 points back on 29, have enough in Méndez and Habroune to find a goal of their own, but not enough to leave Orlando with anything less than 3 points.
