Prediction: 2-1
Columbus Crew
New York Red Bulls will be looking to overcome a one goal deficit in the in the Eastern Conference semis double-header when they host Columbus Crew at their Red Bull Arena. The Metros failed to extend their winning run in MLS to six games, but they are definitely capable of beating Columbus Crew in front of home fans. The team’s top scorer Bradley Wright-Phillips failed to impress in the MAPFRE Stadium clash, but he is likely to pose a big threat for the opposition defenders in Monday’s football match. New York Red Bulls are a real force to be reckoned with at home and we predict that they are going to prove their worth on the field. You should bear in mind that the Metros are eyeing their seventh consecutive win at home ground in the Major League Soccer.
