Why Bet on Columbus Crew SC
Columbus comes from a draw the previous game, 2-2, against Cincinnati FC, but they had a very good game offensively, so it is expected that this trend will continue.
On the other hand, Columbus has an average of more than 1 goal per game, in their last 6 games played, so there is a high probability that they score goals in this game.
Why Bet on New York City FC
While New York City has not gotten off to the start they dreamed of in this Major League Soccer season, it seems they have been putting the pieces together and have performed better in recent weeks.
Although they come from losing their previous match against Montreal FC, 1-2, in this match they were vastly superior to the opposing team, but two notable defensive failures ended up affecting the final result of the match.
Final Betting Analysis: Columbus Crew SC vs New York City FC
This match is very important for both teams, as they are tied with the same number of points for 6th place on the overall MLS Eastern Conference leaderboard.
NYC FC has an advantage and that is, it has a less played game than the Columbus Crew, in addition, if a goal difference of +6 makes them occupy sixth place alone.
The New York team has been showing many improvements in their game, especially in their offense, so they could score more than once in this game.
Columbus has been in a back and forth during this first leg of the season, currently they come from 3 consecutive draws, where they have not looked very solid in their attack lines.
The news and the analysis tell us that this match is between two teams that are very even, both had presented difficulties and had overcome them, that is why we could predict a 1-1 draw as a final result, but, going a little further, Columbus Crew could take the victory, with a score of 2-1.
