Prediction: 1-2
Columbus Crew
DC United play welcome Columbus Crew at their Audi Field in a highly-anticipated MLS game. The capital club aim to make amends for a 4-1 loss to Orlando City and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Columbus. Despite failing to find the net in the last league match, Christian Benteke will continue leading the line for the hosts, while both Matti Peltola and Kye Rowles are back from the international duty.
Wilfried Nancy’s troops, on the other hand, aim to remain undefeated in the new MLS campaign. As DC United suit Columbus Crew, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from Sunday’s clash. It has to be noted that DC United have failed to win the previous seven encounters with Columbus Crew in the Major League Soccer. The good news for the visiting side is that defender Malte Amundsen is back from suspension.
