Columbus Crew vs Los Angeles FC Predictions

• LAFC have scored in four of their last five away league games.
• The hosts are in good spirits after demolishing DC United 3-0 on home soil.
• Columbus Crew have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last three meetings with LAFC.

Scoring first could be key for Los Angeles

The hosts haven’t made the best of starts to the new campaign after accumulating just 13 points after 11 matches which is their lowest total since 2019. Nine of those 13 points have come on home soil, an arena where they clearly feel much more comfortable and they’ll hope they can continue to be solid when they welcome Los Angeles to the Lower.com Field.

The visitors lost at home for the first time this season when they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Austin. They’ve not done things the easy way on the road this season either and have had to come from behind in their previous three road matches, losing two of those. Opening the scoring might be key here as the LA are yet to lose a match this calendar year when firing first.

Goals at both ends seems likely

This looks to be an interesting contest and it’s hard to confidently predict which way this will go. However, both teams create chances and we’ll happily side with both teams getting on the scoresheet.
