Columbus Crew will be eager to put a disappointing defeat behind them when they take on New York Red Bulls, with both sides still firmly in the playoff picture. The Crew lost 2-1 to DC United but had previously impressed at home, beating Colorado Rapids 3-0. They are six points off a playoff berth and boast a 50% home win rate, scoring 1.83 goals per game. However, their 1.63 home xGA highlights some defensive concerns. Camacho, Abou Ali and Bangoura are all ruled out through injury.
New York Red Bulls are also looking for a response after a 2-0 midweek defeat to Los Angeles FC. The Metros have won only 20% of their away matches, scoring just 0.80 goals per game while conceding 1.60. Ronald Donkor is suspended, adding to their difficulties, although their 1.96 away xGA suggests chances could be created at both ends.
As Columbus' stronger home record gives them the edge in Sunday's game, Home Win should be considered, alongside Columbus Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Columbus home games average 3.17 goals).
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 13 September 2026 at 00:30.
