Orlando City is clearly not against repeating the success of the previous year and taking a new trophy.
“The Lions” are celebrating their first anniversary. The emergence of a new football franchise in the MLS was announced just in November 2013. The club started its full functioning in 2 years. At the same time, despite the presence of Cyle Larin and his performance, it was not possible to make it to the play-offs in the first seasons. Orlando became fourth in the conference in 2020 and then reached the quarter-finals. The next draws stopped one step earlier, at the 1/8 stage. Still, the team won its first title, the US Open Cup, in 2022. Speaking about the current season, Oscar Pareja’s wards spent it in a pretty confident way, especially in the finish line – there happened 4 victories in a row. And then it easily overcame Nashville in the first round of the play-offs: a 1-0 result twice.
Columbus Crew is trying to rehabilitate itself for the previous season’s failures.
“The Crew” is an old-timer in North American football. It will celebrate its 13th birthday next year. Moreover, the club co-founded the MLS in 1996. It was the best in the regular season three times, among which it is reasonable to mention 2 successes in the MLS Cup, in 2008 and 2020. Moreover, the team won the CONCACAF Champions Cup in 2021. Then, it did not reach the play-offs of the league in the previous season (for the third time in 4 last draws). This time, the team succeeded – it took 3rd place in the East. It also managed to overcome Atlanta United, but used 3 matches for the higher mentioned result, winning twice at the home arena and on the native field with the same away score – 2-4.
