Match Preview for Columbus Crew vs New York City FC
- Tournament: Major League Soccer 2017
- Kick-Off (UK): 12.30 pm, Sunday, 30th April
- Venue: Mapfre Stadium.
Columbus Crew couldn’t have asked for a better start to the 2017 MLS campaign. The team that finished 9th in the conference table last season are looking good to put their woes behind with their positive attitude. They are positioned at second in the Eastern Conference table after picking 4 wins and 1 draw from their 8 matches, while losing in 3.
All their defeats have come in road matches, while they are unbeaten at home with 3 wins and a draw from 4 matches.
New York City FC haven’t started the season well and sit at 6th in the Eastern Conference table, 3 points behind Columbus Crew. They won and lost 3 each from their 7 matches along with a draw.
In a nutshell, NYCFC’s overall form so far has been inconsistent and unpredictable. Away from home, they lost 2 of their 3 matches before registering their road win of the season in their most recent road trip away to Philadelphia Union. Among the positives, Patrick Vieira’s men scored in every match since the 1-0 loss at Orlando City on matchday 1.

New York City registered their first win over Columbus last season with a 4-1 win in front of their home crowd. Crew SC won 2 and drew 2 in the four matches prior to that.
Columbus Crew vs New York City FC: Prediction
Their stats from the previous meetings and current form suggest that this could another high scoring affair. Matches like these will be decided by those taking their chances wisely, so both teams must be considered as equal favourites to bag the full three-points.
