New York Red Bulls vs Columbus Crew Prediction & Betting Tips (20 October)

To say that New York Red Bulls come into this contest in poor form would be somewhat of an understatement, with the MLS strugglers suffering 13 defeats in their previous 17 top-flight matches. Although Columbus Crew have not been firing on all cylinders this season, the fact remains that the Columbus Crew have enjoyed eight wins in their last 13 fixtures at this level.

Just three of the last 17 MLS fixtures involving Columbus Crew have produced fewer than two goals, so achieving consistency has not proven too difficult on this particular front. What’s more, ten of the most recent 13 New York Red Bulls home games at this level have also been of the over 2.5 goals variety, so it is hard to see anything different when the sides meet.

The last eight Columbus Crew matches at this level have yielded an incredible 50 goals in total, with both teams on target in every single one of these contests, so the Columbus Crew have certainly delivered plenty of excitement. Given that nine of the previous 13 top-flight games involving New York Red Bulls have followed the same pattern, more of the same is expected.
