FC Cincinnati welcome Columbus Crew to the TQL Stadium for their MLS Eastern Conference match. Cincinnati are looking to push for a Round One qualifying place, but they first must find some consistency. The Orange and Blue have only won one of their last six and are in danger of dropping out of the Wild Card places unless they can find regular wins. They're up against a Columbus Crew side who haven't had the greatest season, but who are acutallly in good form. The Crew have won four of their last five matches and will be hoping themselves to be pushing for a playoff place come the end of the season.

The Crew have only won two games on the road all season, with one of those wins coming against Eastern Conference bottom side CF Montreal. However, it would be remiss of us to rule them out of winning this one, particularly with the good form they've been showing in recent weeks.

For our prediction, we're looking at the Goals market. FC Cincinnati have scored more goals than anyone else in the Eastern Conference, save for the top two sides Nashville and Inter Miami. Columbus Crew have also scored the joint highest number of goals from any side currently outside the playoff qualifying positions. We think they'll be plenty of goals scored in this one.
