LAFC vs Columbus Crew Preview & Picks
LAFC were excellent in their last match against LA Galaxy as they secured a 2-1 win on the road against their fierce rivals.
Columbus Crew hammered Toronto FC 4-0 in their last match as they made it four wins on the spin in the league.
- LAFC have won their last three matches in the MLS
- LAFC have seen both teams score in four of their last five
- Toronto have lost one of their last two on the road
- Toronto have seen both teams score in their last three away games
Head-To-Head
The pair have met four times before, with LAFC winning three times and the Crew winning once.
LAFC Form
LAFC continue to show just how strong they are in the MLS, with a third consecutive win allowing them to keep hold of top-spot in the Western Conference.
With a game in hand over second-place Real Salt Lake and two games in hand over third-place LA Galaxy, winning their un-played matches could prove the difference between finishing at the top this season and slipping down the standings.
While LAFC will be fully aware of the challenge they have on their doorstep, they will relish the chance to defeat one of the top sides in the Eastern Conference, and we are backing them to extend a brilliant run at home which has seen them win nine of their 11 and draw the other two.
Columbus Crew Form
Columbus Crew have been very impressive in recent weeks, winning their last four games with goals coming easily.
Having scored 15 times across their last four, the Crew know that they have the tools to hurt LAFC, but can they replicate their form on the road?
A 5-1 win over New England Revolution was their last away victory, but three of their last four wins have been at home, while their last defeat came on the road against Inter Miami. While we do expect the Crew to find the back of the net, we predict that this match will end their winning run.
