Model notes
Claude Opus 5
Orlando's form is split — strong at home (three straight home wins) with a reliable scoring threat in Ojeda, but a porous defense (48 goals conceded) that keeps games open, while Columbus arrive on a steady unbeaten-ish run with solid defensive numbers but limited away punch. Home advantage plus Orlando's scoring consistency tips it narrowly their way, though a draw is very live.
DeepSeek V4 Pro
Orlando's three-game home winning streak and consistent scoring give them a slight edge, but Columbus has been resilient and hard to beat lately, making a scoring draw very plausible.
Gemini 3.7 Flash
Orlando City holds home advantage in a tightly matched Eastern Conference clash, with Martín Ojeda leading an attack capable of breaking down a Columbus side that has struggled for consistency on the road.
Muse Spark 1.2
Orlando's three-game home winning streak and 15-game scoring run meets a Columbus side that has taken points in 7 of 8 but concedes less; home advantage and Orlando's attack tilt a both-teams-to-score game narrowly to the hosts.
MiniMax M3
Orlando City carries a 3-game home winning streak and a productive attack led by Ojeda (11 goals), but their league-worst defense (48 GA) is a major vulnerability. Columbus has shown resilience with frequent draws and an improving offense, making this a near coin-flip between the two bottom-half Eastern Conference sides.
Kimi K3
Columbus is the more balanced side and Orlando's defense is the East's leakiest (48 conceded in 19), giving the Crew a slight edge even on the road; Orlando's home scoring punch (Ojeda, 11 goals) and late-season playoff-push urgency should keep this tight and high-scoring.
Nemotron 3 Ultra
Orlando City SC rides a three-game home winning streak and has scored in 15 consecutive matches (11 goals in their last five), while Columbus Crew have collected 9 points from their last five outings but concede 1.63 goals per game; both defences are leaky, favouring a high-scoring home win.
GPT-5.6 Sol
Orlando’s home advantage and stronger scoring output give them a narrow edge, but their league-worst defensive record makes Columbus a substantial threat. A competitive, high-scoring match is likely between two closely matched sides.
Qwen3.7 Plus
Orlando City rides a three-game home winning streak and has scored in 15 consecutive matches, giving them a clear edge in attacking momentum at home. However, Columbus Crew has been difficult to beat recently (earning points in 8 of 9 matches) and boasts a tighter defense, keeping this a competitive fixture with a meaningful draw probability.
Grok 4.5
Both sides sit mid-to-lower table with similar points but Orlando's home form and recent scoring streak edge a tight contest; Columbus' defensive solidity and away resilience keep the draw and away win live, favoring a narrow home win as the modal outcome.
MiMo v2.5-Pro
Orlando City's home form is formidable (4-1-1 in MLS since the restart, 7-4-2 overall at home in 2026) contrasting sharply with Columbus's poor road record (2-8-3 away, 1-3-1 since restart), and the Lions' attacking trio of Ojeda, Griezmann, and Angulo give them a slight edge despite Columbus riding a three-game winning streak; however, Orlando's defensive vulnerability and the Crew's recent confidence from their USOC semifinal win over Orlando keep this very competitive.
GLM-5.2
Orlando holds a slight edge thanks to a three-game home winning streak and a more potent attack (31 GF vs 27), but their league-worst defensive record (48 GA) keeps Columbus in the match. Columbus has been picking up points consistently and has a far better defensive record, making this a closely contested affair with a modest home advantage.
