D.C. United vs Columbus Crew Prediction: The Black and Yellow won't leave Washington without points

On July 14, 2022, D.C. United will face Columbus Crew in an MLS match at Audi Field in Washington.

D.C. United

DC United is one of the most experienced American teams, having been formed in 1994. During such a long history, the Red and Black won the MLS Cup four times, but the last time they were champions in 2004, after which the results went down. The team from Washington started the current season with two wins in a row, but then they suffered a four-match losing streak. In just 17 games, they scored five wins, drew twice and lost ten times, including a 0:7 loss to Philadelphia Union last week, before sitting in last place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Columbus Crew

Columbus Crew is another team that was founded in 1994, but their title record is much more modest. Only twice in its history have the Black and Yellow won the title, but it was relatively recent: first in 2008 and then in 2020. They failed to keep their place at the top, so they've already had a very disappointing season and now risk missing out on the playoffs. In their 18 meetings, they have won six, drawn seven and lost five, which puts them currently in eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings, but they are in the playoff zone in terms of lost points.

Expert Betting Tips

D.C. United is in a slump this season, currently sitting in last place in the standings, with a devastating 0:7 loss to Philadelphia Union. The Ohio State representatives have been improving of late. They are unbeaten in six straight contests and are slowly getting closer to the playoffs. As a result, it's a good bet that Columbus Crew won't lose for 1.57.

D.C. United and Columbus Crew have been very productive of late. In their four previous encounters, the two sides have scored 17 goals (4.25 goals per game on average). Also, the Red and Black have been forcing everyone to have fun this season, with 60 goals (3.53 goals per game average) in 17 games so far. With this in mind, we suggest betting on a total over 2.5 goals for 1.875.

D.C. United suffered a devastating 0:7 defeat at the hands of Philadelphia Union in their last game, so the Red and Black will need to make amends for that defeat in their upcoming clash, and they will also play at home, where the fans will wait to see what they can achieve. The statistics show Washington has conceded in their last four games in a row. We suggest betting on a first-half goal by Columbus for 2.19.
