The upcoming MLS round begins in New York, where City FC hosts Columbus Crew. These two teams are in solid form, though, with City posting much better results than the guests. Both are in contention for the playoffs, with the note that they could even chase the top seed in the conference.
Before Betting on New York City FC vs. Columbus Crew
The home team is third in the East and in perfect form, winning the past five events and eight in the last nine. This makes them the most powerful unit in the MLS at the moment. In all but one of their victories, we’ve seen them score at least twice, with the offense being their top weapon at the moment.
The defense is a bit shaky, and we must say that the Citizens allow goals frequently, with that happening in six of the recent seven matches this unit played.
On the other hand, Columbus had obligations in the CONCACAF Champions League, where they play the finals. Pachuca was better in the first leg, 3-0, and they had minimal chances of taking the trophy.
This loss snapped Columbus’s three-game winning streak in the MLS, during which the Crew scored eight goals. This team has an extremely powerful attack, with several players able to strike. Also, we need to add that apart from losing to Pachuca, they have seven straight road events without a loss.
New York City FC vs. Columbus Crew Head to Head
