New York City v Columbus Crew Tips

New York City are playing well at the moment, winning 3 of their last 4 games. Their latest was beating Chicago Fire 3-1, so I think New York City will win this game.

New York City lost to DC United in the last home match. As Crew won the last away match at Atlanta and also won during their last visit here, I fancy them to win.

They both have 1 win in their last 3 games. I will therefore back this game to end in a simple draw result.

Fully expect at least 3 goals in this one. There were 9 goals in Columbus Crew's last match and New York City scored 3 last time out. Over 2.5 goals here.

With not much in the form of these two teams, along with the points and standings, I just think as it's so close, I like the low goals in this one.

The Both Teams to Score (Yes) market looks sharp for NYCFC vs Columbus Crew. Both clubs have been consistently finding the net, and Columbus in particular tend to score even when they drop points. With NYCFC strong at home and the Crew usually good for at least one goal, BTTS is a high-probability play.

NYCFC has won three of their last five matches, with two losses. They are coming off a strong 3-1 win over Chicago Fire. They have been inconsistent but have shown an ability to win, especially at home.

They are only separated by one team in the league standings, so I would argue they almost have a similar performance this season.

I'm backing Columbus Crew. Yes, they are in good enough form to win this, and there should be plenty of goals in it. So expect a high-scoring match.
