Antoine Griezmann has urged his Orlando City team-mates to change their habit of conceding first in MLS.Orlando ended a three-game winless run in MLS last time out with a 2-1 win over Real Salt Lake, though they had to come from behind to win all three points.After Dominik Marczuk gave RSL a first-half lead, Griezmann scored twice after the break to help Orlando remain in the play-off places in the Eastern Conference.Orlando have fallen behind in each of their last four MLS outings (W1 D1 L2), though their overall form has been strong.Since returning from the World Cup break, Orlando have won three of their six MLS games (D1 L2), with a trip to Minnesota United up next.And Griezmann believes there is still plenty to improve upon, especially with how they have been starting in recent matches."We need to change that. I don't know how, but yeah, we can't start the games like that," said Griezmann."I think we are starting good with the ball, but defensively we are without energy or without pressure. So, this is something to watch and to do better."It's always difficult to start with a deficit. Now we continue pushing forward and growing."The North Star State awaits pic.twitter.com/NXbybomnC6— Orlando City SC (@OrlandoCitySC) August 27, 2026Minnesota snapped a nine-game winless run with a 5–1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes last time out.It was Minnesota’s largest margin of victory in the regular season since a 4–0 win against RSL in September 2020, and tied for their second-largest win ever in MLS play (7–1 over FC Cincinnati in 2019).PLAYERS TO WATCHMinnesota United – Kelvin YeboahKelvin Yeboah recorded a brace, while Kyle Duncan added a pair of assists for Minnesota in the win over the Earthquakes.It was the first time Minnesota had one player with multiple goals and another with multiple assists in the same game since Jeong Sang-Bing and Tani Oluwaseyi did so in October 2024.Orlando City – Antoine GriezmannIn the win over Real Salt Lake, Griezmann scored his first career brace for Orlando as he joins Martin Ojeda (four times) as Orlando players with multiple goals in an MLS match this season.Prior to Griezmann, each of Orlando City’s last five individual multi-goal games in MLS were by Ojeda.MATCH PREDICTION – MINNESOTA UNITED WINMinnesota United have three wins in five all-time regular-season meetings with Orlando (D1 L1), but the Loons’ only loss and draw in the series have come at home.Minnesota's only home win in the all-time series came in the first-ever meeting back in May 2017.Orlando have lost nine of their last 14 regular-season road games (W2 D3) after losing just twice in their previous 15 away matches in league play (W8 D5).Both of Orlando’s road wins in 2026 have featured four-goal performances, making 2026 the only regular season in the club’s MLS history with multiple road games with four or more goals.OPTA WIN PROBABILITYMinnesota United – 53.6%Draw – 22%Orlando City – 24.4%The post Griezmann urges Orlando to avoid slow starts appeared first on SoccerNews.
