MLS Eastern Conference leaders FC Cincinnati face a huge matchup this weekend, as they host fourth placed Columbus Crew at TQL Stadium. Both sides are unbeaten in four games and will come into the contest full of confidence. Cincinnati's hard fought 2-1 success over the Chicago Fire at the weekend was their fourth victory in a row, and Pat Noonan's side now enjoy a one point lead over Nashville at the top of the Conference standings.
Columbus are just four points off the pace following an excellent run of form. However, they missed an excellent chance to reduce the gap even further last weekend, when they failed to hold onto an early lead and had to settle for a 1-1 draw at the Seattle Sounders. Nevertheless, if they can take three points off the league leaders on Saturday night, they will be right back in the mix for top spot.

Our FC Cincinnati vs Columbus Crew Prediction
This looks set to be one of the best games of the season so far. Both teams have produced some fantastic performances in recent weeks, but we think the league leaders will have the slight edge over the visitors. That being said, Cincy have kept just one clean sheet in their last eight games, so we would not be at all surprised to see Columbus score at least once in the game.
Our prediction for FC Cincinnati vs Columbus Crew is: Cincinnati to win and both teams to score.
