Betting on Columbus Crew
After a recent streak of three consecutive wins, including a historic 6-1 victory over Atlanta United, they were poised to be contenders, but they hit a rough patch that has left them with a string of four winless games.
All four games have been very close: a 1-1 draw against New England Revolution, a 1-0 loss to Charlotte FC, a 1-2 loss against Inter Miami, and last week, a 2-2 draw against Orlando City. In all the games, they have had opportunities to win, but they have been unable to convert their offensive chances.
At home, they have only lost one game so far this season and have conceded only six goals in six matches, with a total of three wins. Columbus is a tough place to visit. So, this Columbus Crew vs LA Galaxy game is the perfect opportunity to get back on track and win in front of their fans.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Patrick Schulte; Steven Moreira, Philip Quinton, Exon Vallecilla; Mohamed Farsi, Aidan Morris, Darlington Nagbe, Yaw Yeboah; Alexandru Matan, Jacen Russell Rowe, Cucho Hernandez
Betting on LA Galaxy
They are not in their best form, which is easily proven by their seven-game winless streak, including three consecutive losses. Their first victory came in the 9th matchday, when they pulled off a solid 2-0 win against Austin FC. Will Zlatan Ibrahimović be available to return to the team?
In the last round, they won an important regional game, beating San Jose Earthquakes 2-1 at home. It’s critical to win points at the moment, although they have one less game played against their arch-rival, LAFC in the Traffic Classic.
They are one of the worst away teams in the league, registering five winless games, including three losses. Their offense is a concern as they have only scored one goal when playing away from Los Angeles.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Jonathan Bond; Calegari, Martín Cáceres, Jalen Neal, Julián Aude; Tyler Boyd, Marky Delgado, Gastón Brugman, Memo Rodríguez; Javier Hernández, Riqui Puig
JefeBet Prediction
The Galaxy seems to be struggling, but their last victory against the Earthquakes could be motivating for this game against a tough opponent. For this Columbus Crew vs LA Galaxy match, we believe the LA Galaxy will manage to secure a valuable draw that will help them in the standings, while Columbus will continue to try to improve.
Prediction: Tie (CLB 1-1 LAG)
