New York City - Columbus Crew predictions and free betting tips [14/06/2024]

On Saturday, at the Yankee Stadium, Columbus Crew will face New York City FC. 

New York City FC

Currently sitting in 3rd position in the Eastern Conference with 29 points, New York City FC are on an impressive run. In the 12th round, they secured a 3-2 victory away against Toronto. This was followed by another away win against Philadelphia with a score of 2-1. In the next match, they surprisingly defeated the Red Bulls 2-1. They also managed a narrow victory over New England. Most recently, they thrashed San Jose Earthquakes at home with a 5-1 scoreline.

Columbus Crew

Last year, Columbus Crew clinched the MLS Cup by defeating Los Angeles FC 2-1 in the final. This season, they had a solid start but their form has dipped in recent games. They are currently 7th in the Eastern Conference. In the 11th round of the season, Columbus managed a goalless draw against Montreal, marking their fifth consecutive draw.

They then lost 2-1 to Cincinnati, but rebounded with a 3-1 win against Montreal. This was followed by a 3-1 away victory over Chicago. In the most recent game, they won 2-0 against Orlando City.

Head-to-Head

The last encounter between Columbus Crew and New York City FC took place on 9th August 2023. That match ended in a 1-1 draw.

Prediction: New York City FC vs Columbus Crew

In the upcoming round, I recommend betting on the home side. New York City FC are in excellent form, having won five matches in a row. Meanwhile, Columbus Crew have won their last three matches, all of which were away games. However, their opponents were not particularly strong, so it is unlikely they will secure another victory.

Prediction on the Total

For this match, I would bet on a total over 2.5 goals as both teams are playing quite effectively at the moment.
