Orlando City clings to seventh place in their conference, but only one point separates them from the two New York teams and Cincinnati. The FIFA break greatly benefited the Lions, as they snapped a three-game losing streak, the last two in MLS, by the same 4-2 scoreline against the New England Revolution and the Philadelphia Union.
On the 16th of last month, in the US Open Cup semifinals, the Columbus Crew, with goals from Martínez and Méndez, eliminated Orlando, whose lone goal that day was scored by Ojeda. Saturday's match has the feel of an immediate rematch, but this time the venue will be Inter&Co Stadium, and the sportsbooks have the Lions as the favorites.
Without a doubt, Orlando made a tremendous move by bringing veteran Griezmann to their ranks. The 35-year-old French striker, a World Cup winner, has adapted quickly to Orlando's system and has contributed a tremendous number of goals and assists since July.

Our Orlando City SC vs Columbus Crew Prediction
At this point, the Columbus Crew remains outside the playoff positions, but they are still within reach. Before the FIFA break, they were on a respectable three-game winning streak, which also saw them reach the US Open Cup final.
With a dramatic late goal from Thiare, the Columbus Crew defeated Inter Miami 2-1 at home in a crucial match where they weren't favored. They are likely to exploit a lapse in concentration from Orlando's defense on Saturday.
Our prediction for Orlando City vs. Columbus Crew is: Over 3.5 goals.
