Score Prediction
One of the most even games of this matchday, and it will be a tactical, defensive battle, so we won’t see a great number of goals on the scoreboard. However, D.C. United have the upper hand, as the Columbus Crew have won just one of their last five games, highlighting the poor performance by their players.
That’s why I can anticipate a tight game that will be based on the small details, as both teams have plenty to lose if they don’t get a victory.
Score prediction: D.C. United 2-2 Columbus Crew
