Prediction published on 14/07/2022, 05:55  by Ioannis in Major League Soccer Predictions

Columbus Crew host Cincinnati in a huge battle for the Eastern Conference play off spots. With the two teams separated by a solitary point, it is all to play for at the Lower.com Field. The hosts are entering this fixture in pretty strong form. Unbeaten in their last seven, they drew with DC United last time out, in a game that they could have won yet conceded in the dying seconds to compromise with the draw. Columbus tend to feature in entertaining games lately, with three of their last four featuring Over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. When it comes to their home form, it is much poorer than their league table position would suggest, and with just eleven points collected in their eight games played, they are the second worst home team in the division. They have only won once in their last six games at the Lower.com Field, while they have failed to score in a staggering four of those games. 

Cincinnati are also coming into this one in relatively strong form. They might be unbeaten in their last six, but five of those ended in a draw, with the latest one being against Vancouver. They also tend to score and concede with ease, with nine of their last ten games ending with both teams scoring. Cincinnati also boast the third-best away record of the conference, having taken fifteen points in their ten away games played so far. However, they have won just one of their last five games on the road, conceding a staggering thirteen goals in those five. The Cincinnati side do not have the best of traditions against Columbus, being winless against them in their four away games and losing three of those.
