New York City FC hosts Columbus Crew on Saturday afternoon, opening the MLS weekend.
Before Betting on New York City FC vs. Columbus Crew
New York City FC has nine consecutive games without a victory, and they are in a really tough position. For some time, Nick Cushing can’t find a way to restore chemistry on the field; therefore, the results are awful.
We’ve seen City losing six games of those nine, with the latest two being goalless draws against the Revolution and Real Salt Lake. They are without a win at Yankee Stadium for the previous three contests, losing two and playing one tie.
Meanwhile, Columbus recorded three triumphs, all of them with at least three goals. One was against Colorado, 3-2, the other against Charlotte, 4-2, and the latest against Chicago Fire on the road, 1-2.
Columbus likes to play aggressive football, with plenty of action in front of both goals. They don’t mind exposing the defense because their mentality on the pitch is attack-first. That’s why eight of Crew’s previous 10 appearances ended with both teams scoring or over 2.5 goals.
