Prediction: 2-2
Columbus Crew
There will be fireworks when New York Red Bulls and Columbus Crew go head to head at Red Bull Arena in what used to be an MLS derby. Both teams have been struggling to find their best forms of late, but the midweek clash could be the turning point for one of the two sides. New York Red Bulls are eyeing their first league win since July 4, 2021, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field.
Keep in mind, though, that all Diarra, Harper, and Long are sidelined with injuries for the hosts. Columbus, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their four-game losing run, and, taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. All Diaz, Hairston, Kitchen, Morris, Valenzuela, and Williams are out of contention through injuries.
