Not only for the type of player he is, but also because he can be the new change that helped Orlando City turn his season around.

In contrast to the Lions’ performances so far this year, the arrival of “Principito” promises to boost the team’s attacking tempo and help lift the club out of the lower ranks of the Eastern Conference.

Is tonight the night of Antoine Griezmann’s MLS debut against the San Jose Earthquakes?

Will Antoine Griezmann play tonight for Orlando City against the San Jose Earthquakes?

Antoine Griezmann's arrival comes with high expectations, not only from the fanbase but also for the league itself.

After all, it's always a good thing to add star players, especially considering the Frenchman only recently finished the season with Atlético Madrid, meaning the Principito is still very much at the top of his game.

On the other side of the road, you have the horrible first half Orlando City performed, leaving them in a low position in the Eastern Conference.

The bright side is that the Lions can turn this thing around, because there are still many games to play. However, to do that, they are going to need Griezmann’s help at all costs.

That’s why the former FC Barcelona attacker is expected to be in the starting lineup for tonight’s game against the San Jose Earthquakes.

Even though he didn't take part in the World Cup, Griezmann remained in form throughout the season, as we mentioned earlier, since Atlético Madrid's campaign ended relatively recently.

That means his footballing and physical condition shouldn't be an issue if Orlando City want to take the lead on the scoreboard and begin climbing out of the bottom of the standings.
