Orlando City vs FC Cincinnati predicted formations

Orlando City host FC Cincinnati at Orlando City Stadium on Thursday, November 19 (7:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM CT / 4:30 PM PT).

Orlando City go into this one with their attacking picture settled: striker Martín Ojeda, who leads the squad with 16 goals this season, and fellow striker Antoine Griezmann, who has added 14 of his own, are both expected to lead the line. FC Cincinnati’s selection questions are just as minor — striker Kévin Denkey, who has scored 17 times, and attacking midfielder Evander, who has created 91 chances, remain the two names driving this lineup search.

    Orlando City vs FC Cincinnati Prediction

    Call this one for Orlando City, 2-1, in a result that does plenty to settle the East’s playoff math. Both sides arrive on 46 points, Orlando eighth and FC Cincinnati ninth, so there’s real weight on this one, and the home side’s extra edge up top through Ojeda and Griezmann should be the difference at Inter&Co Stadium.
