An Eastern conference shuffle is on the table as Orlando look to battle it out against Columbus

Columbus Crew put a halt to their losing streak last week with a win against Cincinnati. They were on the wrong end of a 6 match losing streak before the timely win. The streak saw them slip to 8th place, just one spot out of the play-off brackets.

Orlando City sits just one place from the top of the table, however, New York City is closing in on the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. NYC is the only team other than New England Revolution to have double-digit wins and Orlando City will be looking to join that club this weekend.

Nani is in fine form for the Orlando team with 9 goals and 6 assists. The Portuguese midfielder will be instrumental in Sunday’s clash.

Orlando however has not been able to capitalize on their chances in front of the goal and this has led to them being held down to 4 draws in the last 5 matches.

Orlando will be looking to secure all three points this weekend.

奥兰多想要和哥伦布决一死战，东部联盟的洗牌已经摆上了台面

哥伦布船员队上周击败辛辛那提队，结束了他们的连胜。他们在6场连败的比赛中处于不利地位，后来才及时取得胜利。连胜后，他们滑落至第八名，只在附加赛中领先一名。

奥兰多离榜首仅一步之遥，而纽约市正在向东部第二的位置逼近。纽约队是除新英格兰革命队之外唯一一支取得两位数胜利的球队，奥兰多城将在本周末加入该俱乐部。

纳尼在奥兰多的状态很好，有9个进球和6次助攻。葡萄牙中场将在周日的比赛中发挥重要作用。

然而，奥兰多队却没能把握住进球前的机会，这导致他们在最近5场比赛中被压制到4平。

奥兰多魔术队希望能在本周末拿下全部三分。
