The Columbus Crew will be looking to make it four wins in a row when they host Minnesota United at Scotts Miracle-Gro Field on Saturday evening.
It was a slow start to the season for Columbus, but they have burst into life over the last few weeks, recording five wins and just one defeat from their last seven fixtures. Strong home form has been the key to success for Columbus, and they have now lost just one of their last nine matches on home soil.
Minnesota were also on an excellent run of form before last week's surprise loss at home to LAFC. They followed up that defeat by crashing out of the US Open with a 4-2 reverse at the San Jose Earthquakes, so United boss Eric Ramsey will be keen to get his side back to winning ways before this loss of form becomes more than a blip.

Our Columbus Crew vs Minnesota United Prediction
Based on previous contests between these two sides, we look set for a highly entertaining game at Scotts Miracle-Gro Field, so we are confident that there will be plenty of goals.
As for picking a winner, we have to give the nod to the hosts. Their recent displays have been excellent, and they are clearly on an upward trajectory.
The same could have been said about Minnesota until last week, but back-to-back defeats have put them on the back foot, and we cannot see them ending their slump on Saturday.
Our prediction for Columbus Crew vs Minnesota United is: Columbus Crew to win and both teams to score
