One of Thursday's Major League Soccer fixtures will take place at Inter&Co Stadium, where Orlando City and the Chicago Fire will clash for the first time in 2026. While the visitors are looking to strengthen their already promising position near the top of the Eastern Conference, the hosts are hoping to break into the play-off spots.
From a betting point of view, it's worth siding with Orlando's new magician Antoine Griezmann to register what would be his second assist since joining last month. Since teaming up with the Lions, the vastly experienced Frenchman has been in creative mood, pulling the strings with ease, so we shouldn't be surprised if he makes plenty happen in the final third against a Chicago Fire team that, despite being in form results wise, does give plenty away at the back.

Our Orlando City SC vs Chicago Fire Prediction
The visitors do concede both chances and goals, especially on the road, and if Antoine Griezmann pulls the strings for the hosts as he's started to in recent weeks, the former Atletico Madrid man won't be far away from registering his second assist of the MLS season.
As the stats above show, Griezmann is no stranger to producing assists, and the fact that since March, he averages 0.37 assists per 90 minutes suggests that he's a little generously priced here. After all, he's essentially produced an assist 37% of the time, so odds of +300 (= 25% implied probability) look too good to turn down.
Our Orlando City vs Chicago Fire Pick: Antoine Griezmann 1+ Assists.
