Columbus Crew vs New York Red Bulls Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Columbus Crew are favourites coming into this game

Columbus Crew are having one of the best seasons in their history. They went to the finals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup and won the 2024 Leagues Cup. They would have won the 2024 supporters shield if not for Inter Miami having a record-breaking regular season. The Crew are one of the favourites to win the 2024 MLS Cup which will be fourth in their history. Managed by the brilliant Wilfried Nancy, Columbus Crew have emerged as one of the teams to beat this season. They also have one of the most potent attacking units in Major League Soccer with Cucho Hernandez, Diego Rossi and Christian Ramirez.

New York Red Bulls on the other hand finished seventh in the Eastern Conference. They accumulated 47 points from 34 games. The club has struggled defensively as they have been breached 50 times already this season. Despite having some talented individuals, the team have struggled collectively. Manager Sandro Schwarz has a lot of work to do if he wants his team to move to the next round of the MLS Cup.
