Score Prediction

The truth is that Orlando City is going through a rough patch in the Eastern Conference, being in the lower positions of the standings.

On the other hand, the San Jose Earthquakes are having a marvelous campaign, being second in the Western Conference.

This means that the Quakes will take possession of the ball, and the Lions will try to counterattack.

Many fans might expect to see Griezmann in the starting lineup, but given the difficulty of the match and the fact that it’s his debut, it’s more likely he’ll make his first appearance as a substitute.

Whatever the case, I don’t see a bright night for Orlando City.

Score Prediction: San Jose Earthquakes 2-0 Orlando City.
