Player to watch: Cucho Hernandez

As stated earlier in our Columbus Crew vs Orlando City prediction, Hernandez is the key weapon for coach Nancy in the last two seasons. Since the start of the current campaign, Hernandez managed to score a total of 13 goals. He still has a shot at the Top Goalscorer Award, but he needs to be at his lethal best versus the Lions.

Second player to watch: Diego Rossi

With 10 goals and eight assists in 2024, Rossi is the other player who has a reserved spot on coach Nancy’s starting XI.
