Columbus Crew
Match Time & Date:

01:30
Prediction: 1-0
DC United
Following a 2-2 draw with Nashville, Columbus Crew will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Major League Soccer when they take on DC United on Sunday morning. Columbus are eyeing their fourth win of the season and the bookies see them as favourites to pick up all three points from the match. Colombia forward Marino Hinestroza should sneak into the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while both Rudy Camacho and Alexandru Matan remain in the recovery room.
The capital club, on the other hand, defeated Montreal thanks to Pedro Santos’ late goal, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Columbus. DC United are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling the Crew’s party at Lower.com Field. All Nate Crockford, Russell Canouse, Garrison Tubbs, Tyler Miller, and Steve Birnbaum are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
