The Major League Soccer season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between New York City and Columbus Crew promises to be an interesting one.
- New York City have the most scored goals (10) in Major League Soccer
- Columbus Crew have yet to win a game away.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Columbus Crew have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
