Columbus Crew vs NYCFC Prediction
Both of these teams entered their midweek games on impressive undefeated streaks. And both managed to extend those streaks with draws.
Columbus was in Miami on Tuesday and drew 2-2. That makes them 5-2-0 in their past seven and has also seen them score multiple goals in six of those seven games. The Crew have scored in all but one game this season and lead the league goals scored (42), while being second in xG (32.0) and being fourth in shots on target (99). They re curently +2000 in the .
New York City hosted Charlotte on Wednesday and while the Crown scored early, NYC scored late in the 81 minute to draw level at 1-1. New York is now undefeated in seven themselves, however, six of those were draws. They ve also only scored multiple goals once in their past 11 games.
Columbus will have one extra day of rest, plus the home field advantage on Saturday. That could be huge considering the Crew are 8-2-1 at Lower.com Field and have outscored their opponents 29-11.
And while New York City may have just won 1-0 on the road in Montreal last weekend, that was their first road win on the season. They re now just 1-6-5 on their travels, being outscored 14-9. In Columbus, New York hasn t won since 2017, and since the 2017 playoffs, home teams have won 12/15 games between these teams.
We just saw this matchup back on June 17 in New York, with the teams splitting the points in a 1-1 draw.
With this one being in Columbus and the Crew offense firing on all cylinders, I ll take the Crew to win in my soccer picks today.
