New York Red Bulls vs Columbus Crew Prediction: Don’t expect too many goals

New York Red Bulls welcome Columbus Crew to the Red Bull Arena for the 4th round of the new MLS season. The Red bulls are in desperate search for their first win this season and they will hope they can do it in front of thousands of their fans. Columbus Crew won just 1 in their last 3 matches, but they will need a positive result here to put them back on track. 

The Red Bulls are yet to show any positive result for all the efforts they put in during the pre-season friendly matches. They are yet to win any match this season, as they recorded 2 draws and 1 loss. Their last game ended in a 1-1 draw against Minnesota United away from home. Andre Reyes drew level in the 49th minute for the Red Bulls after they fell behind to a goal in the opening 18 minutes. In the last 5 matches, the Red Bulls recorded 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. The Red Bulls find themselves in 12th spot in the Eastern Conference with 2 points in 3 matches.

Columbus Crew recovered from a disastrous start to this season. They lost 4-1 to Philadelphia Union on the opening day, and then they won 2-0 against DC United. Then the last match against Toronto FC ended in a 1-1 draw. Toronto were first to score in the 24th minute before Columbus Crew equalised in the 75th minute. In the last 5 matches, Columbus Crew earned 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Columbus Crew are currently 8th in the Eastern Conference, with 4 points from 3 matches.
