With the return of the MLS season underway, Columbus Crew and New York City FC meet mid-week in Ohio for their first game back. The hosts surely weren’t too pleased with the pause in their new lease of life prior to the international break, and they’ll look to come back with a bang on home soil against the team sitting just two points above them in the Eastern Conference.
The parlay Columbus Crew to Win and Over 1.5 Goals is an appealing bet at the available odds of +120. Going two wins to zero on the bounce, one being against New York City themselves in a cup fixture, the home side shouldn’t feel too wary about their return to the league.
Besides, we cannot ignore the fact that the two have met very recently: once in their penultimate match before the World Cup, in which The Crew cruised through with a 1-0 win here in Ohio; the second being only a couple of weeks prior, a MLS meeting full of more action. This time a reverse fixture, the 3-0 NYC win does seem a very surprising and unfair outcome, with more goal attempts for Columbus Crew and better expected goals created as a result.

Our Columbus Crew vs New York City Prediction
Two very recent performances against NYCFC will have given The Crew a helping hand into what needs to be done to get back into the swing of things on the right foot. The visitors have been very open at the back, conceding twice last time out and regularly giving away lots of chances, whilst also being one of the worst offensively away from home in the Eastern Conference.
Paired with the fact that Columbus Crew have been thriving on home turf recently, winning five out of their last six in two competitions, a positive home performance seems more likely than the early odds suggest.
Our Columbus Crew vs New York City FC Pick: Columbus Crew to Win and Over 1.5 Goals.
