(209977) New York City FC at (209978) Columbus Crew
The time for Columbus to trip up was on Wednesday in Philly but they travelled and managed a 1-0 road win only three days after winning the Leagues Cup. While this only adds more games in a short span for the Crew, they aren't showing any signs of slowing down.
NYCFC is the only team Columbus failed to beat in their Leagues Cup win, settling for a 1-1 draw in the quarterfinal before advancing on PKs, so certainly they will give NYCFC plenty of respect here. That being said, Columbus at home is incredibly strong winning seven of their last nine matches with two draws, scoring 25 goals in those nine matches.
To New York's credit, they find ways to at least earn draws often, but away from home they team does struggle much more than at Yankee Stadium. They have three road wins this season and none since May.
Eventually Columbus will lose, but until they do, ride the wave.
