Columbus Crew and the New York Red Bulls have plenty at stake coming into this event. The hosts need to move away from the play-in zone and cement themselves in the top seven teams in the East, while the Bulls need to keep chasing the postseason, and three points are a must for them.
Before Betting on Columbus Crew vs. New York Red Bulls
The Crew is in excellent form, having five straight games without a loss, winning four of them and having just one draw. In all the wins, we’ve seen them scoring at least twice, but on the other side, they’ve kept only one clean sheet throughout this period.
Overall, their games are very interesting, with lots of goals, usually on both sides – seven in the last ten saw that happening on the field. Also, what we want to tell you is that the Crew plays very aggressive and efficient football at home, which is why they managed to score two or more goals in the latest five appearances at Lower.com Field.
The Bulls are inconsistent these days. We’ve seen them winning twice in the last six events, losing three times and recording a tie. Those oscillations are the reason why Gerhard Struber’s team sits outside the postseason zone.
Another reason is terrible performances on the road. Just one victory in nine outings this year (last weekend in Miami against Inter, 0-1) is an issue that needs to be addressed. New York’s away games are ugly to watch because they don’t include too many goals, and all nine have been with under 2.5 hits.
