Prediction: 3-1
Houston Dynamo
Lower.com Field will host Saturday’s football game between Columbus Crew and Houston Dynamo, the two teams that made a different start to the season. The Crew aim to build on back-to-back wins over Chicago Fire and New England Revolution, while Houston are desperate to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Dallas and Inter Miami. The hosts want to keep their 100% record in the 2025 MLS campaign intact, but they will have to do it without injured goalkeeper Nicholas Hagen this time out.
The Orange Crush, on the other hand, have been struggling at the back at the start of the season and it seems as if new signings have yet to adapt to the new surroundings. Given Columbus’s flying start, we predict that the visitors will return to Texas empty-handed. Both Ennali and Quinones are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Team (Columbus Crew):
Columbus Crew are an American soccer club based in Columbus, Ohio. The Black & Gold participate in the Eastern Conference and in 2008 they won both the conference and the MLS CUP final. Columbus Crew defeated New York Red Bulls in the MLS Cup final, with the likes of Moreno, Marshall and Hejduk scoring for the Black & Gold in the title game.
The club welcome their rivals at Mapfre Stadium, the venue which was opened on May, 15 1999. The current capacity of the stadium is 19.968 and it has to be noted that Mapfre Stadium is the first soccer-specific venue ever built for a MLS club.
A number of high-profile players were part of Columbus Crew in the past, but Guillermo Barros Schelotto is the most famous footballer that wore the black and yellow shirt. Schelotto played for Columbus Crew from 2007 to 2010 and during his spell with the Mapfre Stadium outfit the Black & Gold won the aforementioned MLS Cup.
