For a few teams competing in Major League Soccer, there's midweek action coming up. On Wednesday evening, fans will head to Yankee Stadium, where New York City FC will take on the Columbus Crew in what is a game between two teams looking to cement a top-seven position in the Eastern Conference. Right now, the visitors are slightly better placed, sitting in fifth spot, though only three points separate them and Inter Miami in eighth, so now is no time for the men from Ohio to take it easy. Wilfried Nancy's men need to do what they did at the weekend and use their offensive strength to collect maximum points. To do that in the Bronx, though, they will need to defend better than they did at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where they conceded four goals. 

The hosts also got the job done at the weekend, but unlike theyh Crew, they only conceded a single goal in doing so, which bodes well ahead of this clash. Playing at home typically suits the men in sky blue, as they've won three of their last four league games at Yankee Stadium, scoring an impressive nine goals in the process. More of that is needed here.

New York City - Columbus Crew Key Points

  1. The visitors conceded four goals in their most recent away game.
  2. In four of their last six away games, the visitors have conceded two or more goals.
  3. In five of their last seven home games, the hosts have scored two or more goals.
  4. Away from home this season, the visitors have conceded 1.64 goals per 90 minutes.

Our New York City vs Columbus Crew Prediction

This looks like a nice opportunity for the hosts to score more goals, let's be honest. We know that the visitors won't simply go to Yankee Stadium at sit back, that's just not how the Crew get down to business, so we should expect to see quite an open and free-flowing game, and in games of that nature, the hosts have looked strong offensively. Factor in their very good recent scoring record at home and they look slightly leniently priced to notch a couple of goals against a defense that shipped four on the road just a few days ago. Our NYCFC vs Columbus Crew Pick: NYCFC to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
