Cincinnati won again in Canada against Toronto FC, 1-0, keeping them in first place in the Eastern Conference with 28 points. Interestingly, Cincinnati is the team among the top seven in the Eastern Conference that scored the fewest goals, with 18. They won't be favored on Saturday when they face the Columbus Crew. However, Pat Noonan's team knows what it's like to win close games, so much so that all of their last seven wins have been by one goal.

The Columbus Crew's favorable odds of -105 to win on betting sites may be due to the fact that Cincinnati lost all three of their losses this season away from home, and they beat Toronto FC 0-1 with a goal from Denkey.

The Togolese-born forward was the best player on the pitch in the last match. When he scores, he usually has great performances, as was the case in Cincinnati's 2-1 victory over Kansas City a month ago.

Our Columbus Crew vs FC Cincinnati Prediction

It was a frustrating draw for Columbus Crew, who also traveled to Canada and failed to beat their conference-bottom CF Montreal. Columbus Crew dominated with a 2.19 xG and 58% possession, and Montreal didn't even register a corner kick, but ended up drawing 1-1. This is two straight draws for Columbus Crew, who also drew 2-2 the last time they hosted the Philadelphia Union at Lower Field. Our prediction for Columbus Crew vs. Cincinnati is: Cincinnati to win or draw.

Prediction:

 

Cincinnati to win or draw.
