Vancouver Whitecaps vs Columbus Crew Predictions

Vancouver Whitecaps edged out Houston Dynamo 2-1 at home last weekend to put an end to their losing streak, while Columbus Crew claimed all three points away at Atlanta United courtesy of a 3-1 final scoreline and have only lost one of their last six matches.

All of the stats suggest that we will see both teams score and over 2.5 goals in Saturday’s match and we’re backing the game to end in a 2-2 draw.

Columbus Crew don’t have a good record against Vancouver Whitecaps but do head into Saturday’s clash as the form favourites. Both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in five of the pairs’ last six encounters, with Vancouver Whitecaps unbeaten in their last seven meetings with Columbus Crew. Two of the pairs’ last four meetings have ended in 2-2 draws and both stalemates arrived in the pairs last two meetings at the BC Place Stadium.

The performances of both clubs over the last month or so add weight to our prediction for Saturday’s match, with both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in five of Vancouver Whitecaps’ and four of Columbus Crew’s last six matches. Both teams form also makes for interesting reading, with Vancouver Whitecaps only winning two of their last six matches and Columbus Crew drawing three of their last six matches, two of which ended 2-2, and remaining unbeaten in their last three matches.

Columbus Crew are bound to be confident having won their last two away games 3-1 but their poor record against Vancouver Whitecaps coupled with the hosts home win last time out lead us to believe that Saturday’s game will end all square. We’re confident that both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be produced between these two sides on Saturday and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. Columbus Crew arrive as the form favourites but with a disappointing record against their Canadian hosts, but the pairs last two meetings at this stadium have ended 2-2 and we believe another draw of that manner is on the cards this weekend.
