The Crew to win in Minnesota

On Wednesday Minnesota United host Columbus Crew at National Sports Center Stadium in MLS, as the visitors look to aid their playoff hopes.

The home side are currently tenth in the Western Conference table after an inconsistent season so far. However, Adrian Heath’s side are just four points of the play-off positions, so could still make an unlikely charge for the top six of the standings.

Minnesota’s recent form in MLS has done little to suggest that a turnaround in form is likely to happen anytime soon, as they have won just one of their last five MLS outings, suffering three defeats in the process.

Their recent home form has been decent of late, though, as they have suffered just one defeat in their last five MLS games on home soil and have won three of those five outings.

Minnesota’s recent home games in MLS have been high-scoring, too, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last three league games on home soil.

Columbus Crew currently sit sixth in the Eastern Conference table. However, the team jointly managed by Greg Berhalter and Josh Wolff are just two points clear of seventh-place New York Red Bulls, so this game could be crucial in the battle for the play-off spots.

The Crew’s form has been poor in MLS of late, as the visitors have lost three of their last four outings in the American top-flight while conceding at least two goals in all three of those recent defeats.

The visitor’s recent away record in MLS is terrible, as they have lost their last four games on the road and have conceded at least two goals in their last six games on their travels.

Forebet predicts that the Crew will end their poor recent away form in MLS and record a victory in Minnesota.
