NYCFC vs Columbus Crew Predictions and Betting Tips
The Yankee Stadium is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter as NYCFC play host to Columbus Crew. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Columbus Crew, having beaten their opponents in the last three meetings, would be looking to stretch this winning run to four games.
Both sides locked together on the Eastern Confernece standings
New York City FC goes in search of their eighth win of the campaign which could take them as far as 3rd in the Eastern Conference. They currently reside in 6th place having copped 23 points. The NY-based side made it back-to-back wins in their most recent game, putting five past Orlando City who replied with none.
The Crew, on the other hand, are just a point and a place above their opponents on the Eastern Conference standings. The defending champions boast the best defensive record in the Eastern Conference, however, they still find themselves in 5th place which could be attributed to their inability to find the net. They got the better of Atalanta United in their most recent game- Jonathan Mensah scoring the all-important winner. Can they stretch their unbeaten run to seven games this weekend?
NYCFC vs Columbus Crew Prediction: 1-0
NYCFC are really tough to beat at the Yankee Stadium and given the Crew’s inadequacies on their travels, we would be banking on the hosts to pick up all three points.
