Columbus Crew Chicago Fire betting prediction

In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against New York City, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Toronto, by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 10 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 28 goals scored and 19 conceded. Columbus Crew has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 7 matches for this competition. In 11 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 6 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Columbus Crew have won their last two games and are looking to showcase their growth in the league. They are determined to win their home games, but also to get points away from their home stadium. They are favourites to beat Chicago Fire and will do their best to nullify their opponents from the opening minutes. If they can maintain their level of performance, they are likely to win the match.
