Columbus Crew are the undisputed favorites in this clash, with form and statistics firmly on their side. The hosts rarely make mistakes at home and have already recorded five wins in their last seven matches in front of their own fans. The difference in class and current form between the two teams is palpable.
DC United will fight to avoid a heavy defeatDespite the fact that the visitors are in poor form and have suffered three consecutive losses away from home, it is difficult to expect Columbus to impose total dominance. They themselves suffered a heavy defeat to Nashville a few days ago, which may affect their confidence and make them more cautious and pragmatic.
Prediction: Away team handicap +1.5I expect Columbus to come out victorious, but we are unlikely to see a rout. DC United will try to keep the intrigue and in my opinion, they will not lose by more than one goal difference.
