Score Prediction
Considering recent results of both teams, Club América holds the stronger hand, as they have done a magnificent job in their latest matches.
However, Columbus Crew aren't far behind, as the MLS side has had some inconsistent performances, but nothing to be alarmed about.
Although it might seem like a rough patch for the league, the Crew and Austin FC are the only hope to see an MLS team in the next round. Club América is strong across every position, known for their quick ball recovery and clinical finishing, making them a formidable opponent.
Columbus Crew will have to use every card in their deck if they want to win the encounter. However, in my personal opinion, I don’t see a bright ending for this game.
Score Prediction: Club America 1-2 Columbus Crew
