Only four points separate FC Cincinnati and Columbus Crew ahead of their MLS fixture on Sunday. This match at the TQL Stadium between the leaders “Orange and Blue” and fourth-placed “Crew” comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.
With 42 points from 21 matches, Cincinnati are top of the Eastern Conference points tally, while the Crew have 38 points from the same number of games.
A 2-1 home win over Chicago Fire last weekend continued FC Cincy’s recent upsurge. That was their fourth league win in a row and saw them keep their lead at the top.
That said, Cincinnati still have a lot to improve at home. Just one win from their three recent home games (W1, D1, L1) shows they have some way to go before getting into the winning ways that landed three away victories in a row before this sequence.
The Crewheld to a 1-1 away draw against the Seattle Sounders last weekend, extending their unbeaten sequence to four matches (W3, D1). The visitors will feel the need to extend this run, as they couldn’t win a single league match across six fixtures (D4, L2) before this unbeaten run.
That won’t be an easy task, as Crew haven’t won any of their last five away league fixtures (D3, L2).

Our FC Cincinnati vs Columbus Crew Prediction
Columbus Crew can move within a point of leaders Cincinnati with a win here, but that’s not going to be straightforward. Cincinnati have revived their season with four league wins in a row, straight after a run of four matches without a win. For Columbus Crew, their away form still needs to be sorted out, although they have been consistently finding goals on the road.
The return fixture ended in a 1-1 draw, and this match could see more action. Our FC Cincinnati vs Columbus Crew prediction is both teams to score.
