Orlando City vs. Columbus Crew is a super exciting matchup of the 2024 MLS. The game is on the program on Saturday, May 25, at Exploria Stadium in Orlando where the Lions have a fantastic record against the Crew.
The problem is that these guys haven’t been great at home over the last couple of weeks. In fact, they’ve won only one MLS game at home this season.
Before Betting on Orlando City vs. Columbus Crew 2024 MLS Game
Orlando City is 4-4-5 overall, but most of its wins happened on the road. At home, the Lions haven’t been great, although they did get a draw with Inter Miami in their previous game in Florida.
However, Lionel Messi did not play for the Herons in that game. That said, the fact that Orlando City didn’t lose to Inter Miami isn’t too much of an achievement.
What would be a major achievement is if they avoided losing to the Columbus Crew. The defending MLS champions are 5-6-2, coming to Florida after back-to-back wins.
This team’s biggest strength in the 2024 MLS is defense, the evidence being that the Crew has only allowed 13 goals so far. Their offense, however, hasn’t been too impressive, although Columbus does have some amazing forwards on the roster – Christian Ramirez, Diego Rossi, etc.
