Burnley continues their preparations for the upcoming 2026-27 EFL Championship campaign with a second pre-season fixture against another MLS opponent, Columbus Crew. Given the Clarets' first fixture against FC Cincinnati saw a combined four goals scored, our prediction leans towards another high-scoring affair at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field.
Columbus Crew have been presented with the opportunity to inflict more damage on Burnley and disrupt their preparations ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
The Black and Golds saw their MLS campaign temporarily halted due to the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup. Their last match was a comfortable 2-0 home win over Atlanta United on May 24th.
That outcome ended a four-match winless run (D1, L3), and the temporary hiatus has given them a brief opportunity to regroup before their return to domestic action.
Burnley, meanwhile, head into this contest low on confidence after a disappointing opening to their pre-season fixture.
The Clarets were drawn against FC Cincinnati in their first match and suffered a heartbreaking 3-1 defeat at the TQL Stadium. Josh Laurent scored the only goal in that match in the 30th minute to restore parity, but what followed was a second-half collapse that saw their opponents find the back of the net twice.
Nicky Hayen's men will be hoping to get back to winning ways this time around against another MLS opponent and restore their confidence.

Our Columbus Crew vs Burnley Prediction
Columbus Crew are meeting Burnley or a European opponent for the first time in their club history. They are out to make a statement against the Championship outfit ahead of the resumption of their MLS campaign.
Claiming a notable scalp against Burnley already appears to be an easy task after the Championship outfit was outplayed 3-1 by FC Cincinnati in their opening pre-season game. The Clarets are already poor on the road, given that they've suffered six consecutive games while conceding 16 goals, indicating another high-scoring affair. Our Columbus Crew vs Burnley prediction: more than 3.5 goals.
