The MLS returns with another set of mouthwatering fixture as Columbus Crew prepare to lock horns with New York Red Bulls at the Lower.com Field. Both teams will be looking forward to end their losing run on 15th September 2021 at 02:30 EAT.
Columbus Crew suffered a narrow 1-0 MLS defeat in the hands of Inter Miami in their previous fixture. In that match, they managed 58% possession and seven shots with three of them on target. Inter Miami on the other side got 42% possession, five shots with two on target and a goal score by Higuaín (16′).
In their previous match, New York Red Bulls shared spoils 1-1 with D.C. United still in the MSL. In that game, they had 46% possession and 11 shots with three of them on target and a goal scored by Yearwood (5′). D.C. United got 54% possession eight shots on goal with two on target and a goal from Kamara (44′).
Both teams have been struggling this season, the hosts have lost seven of their last eight league outings, while the visitors are on a run of just one win from their most recent 10 games.
Although the two teams are the middle table with only a four-point difference, Columbus Crew won three of the last five matches they played against New York RB. Also, they won three of the last five matches they hosted against the Red Bulls. We expect a win for the Crew.
