Columbus Crew vs New York Red Bulls Prediction & Betting Tips (29 October)

New York Red Bulls last dined at the top table of the MLS, suffering a defeat on the back of a run of one point from seven matches. For their part, Columbus Crew have enjoyed eight victories in 11 home fixtures at this level of late, so their opponents could be set for a rude awakening in what is their debut game.

MLS meetings between these two sides have a history of producing goals at both ends of the pitch, with this being the case in 27 of the most recent 33 clashes. Add to that the fact that both teams have scored in 11 of the previous 17 New York Red Bulls matches and 13 of the last 20 Columbus Crew games at this level, and we have a recipe for action in both penalty areas.
