Prediction: 1-1
Columbus Crew
Over the years New York Red Bulls have established themselves as one of the best teams in the Major League Soccer. The Red Bulls made a fine start to the 2018 MLS campaign and they are widely expected to book their place in the play-offs. The team’s main goal is to finish the season in top two in the Eastern Conference, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to meet the goal. Columbus Crew, on the other hand, did well to make amends for back-to-back defeats to the likes of LA Galaxy and New York City, with the team beating Orlando City in front of home fans at the weekend. The Crew are eyeing a place in top two as well, but seeing that Columbus and New York RB seem to be evenly matched at the moment, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.
