New York City - Columbus Crew Prediction, Picks and Tips
By far New York City is the best MLS venue, unbeaten this year at Yankee Stadium and winning 28 of 30 points played there. Another positive detail for the 'celestes' is that with their triumph of last Wednesday they cut to only 3 points - and with one game less - their distance with Atlanta, the leader of the Eastern Conference.
Without their striker David Villa (injury), Ismael Tajouri and Maxi Moralez have taken center stage in the attack. And if the New York box is almost perfect at home, Columbus is the opposite playing visiting. It is a very hard team to beat away from home but nothing effective in opposing goal. To make matters worse, he has lost 3 of the last 4 dates, moving away to 7 points from the second place in the Eastern Conference (semi-final zone).
In addition to Villa, NY City did not have Tajouri and Inge Berget (12 goals between them) in the 3-0 over Montreal midweek. Just 3 goals scored Columbus in his last 9 visits for MLS. Only one of them had more than 2 goals in the final result. NY City scored 2+ goals in 7 of their 9 locations. At home he only gave points to the leader Atlanta (1-1). Columbus always received 2+ goals from NY City on 7 of the 9 occasions they faced.
