New York City vs Columbus Crew
New York City became the most late MLS participant where they have competed 24 times to this day. Their next match will face Columbus Crew at Yankee Stadium.
Last Sunday (8/18) they went to FC Cincinnati headquarters and succeeded in silencing the host with a landslide score, 1-4. Valentin Castellanos and Heber Araujo dos Santos each contributed a brace in this fight. Thanks to the victory, they were ranked 6th temporarily.
The opportunity to play at Yankee also opens up opportunities to continue the trend where they have only lost 1 time this season, while the remaining 6 wins and 4 draws. The record against Columbus Crew is also good after the last two meetings won with identical scores, 2-0.
This fact is an early warning for the visitors who were held 2-2 last week by Toronto FC. With that result, Columbus Crew means always accepting draws in the last 3 MLS parties. It would be difficult to surprise Yankees with trends like this. In fact, right now they really need points to get out of the bottom board, precisely the order of 22 out of 24 participants. It is likely that New York City will win again.
