There's Major League Soccer action coming our way from a whole host of stadiums this weekend, including Lower.com Field, where the Columbus Crew will meet DC United. After what was a rather disappointing defeat during the week, with the Crew going down by three goals to zero in Nashville, Wilfried Nancy's men will be looking to bounce back. Fortunately, the hosts shouldn't be feeling too down. After all, that was their first defeat in six, while they come into Saturday's fixture having won each of their last three at home.
There aren't as many reasons for the visitors to feel positive ahead of this fixture, that's for sure. For the third game in a row, the DC boys lost during the week, suffering a 2-1 defeat in Charlotte, which followed their 2-1 defeat in Los Angeles. They've also lost each of their last four on the road, which doesn't exactly bode well.

Our Columbus Crew vs DC United Prediction
On paper, this looks like a good chance for the hosts to thrive, and they may do that, though let's be honest, they're not too secure at the back, so there's definitely hope for the visitors offensively. Gabriel Pirani has been in strong form of late, and after he scored during the week, the Brazilian will likely be hungry for more here, which makes him look like an appealing shot-on-target bet at odds of -130. After all, this is a player who shot five times on Wednesday night, a player who has registered a shot on target in each of his last two appearances. Our Columbus Crew vs DC United Pick: Gabriel Pirani 1+ Shots on Target.
