Prediction published on 19/05/2022, 09:42  by Indran in Major League Soccer Prediction

Columbus Crew plays host to Los Angeles FC in this MLS match. The home team are 10th position in the Eastern Conference League with 13 points while the visitors are in second position in the Western Conference League with 23 points. Columbus Crew have only won one of their last nine matches across all competitions. They started the season very well and had eight points from their first four matches but have picked up just a further five points in their seven matches. During the last seven matches they went through a horror period of four consecutive losses, three were in the league and one in the US Open Cup. Columbus Crew have experienced major issues with goal scoring as they have only scored five goals in their last seven league matches and have failed to score in five of the matches.

Los Angeles FC will be desperate to bounce back in this match after losing to Austin FC in their last match. This was their second consecutive loss and has resulted in them losing their position at the top of the table. They are equal on top with Austin FC with 23 points but they have an inferior goal difference. Prior to these defeats Los Angeles FC had won five of their six matches and will be keen to get back to winning ways and reclaim the lead. In both their losses they have conceded early goals and will look to their defence to start this match much better.
