🗞️ Team News: Columbus Crew

Looking at personnel, there is just a single fitness concern for the Columbus Crew gaffer Wilfried Nancy to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust group. Will Sands (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will miss out.

📰 Team News: Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire manager Frank Klopas has a number of players out of action. Chris Mueller (Hip Injury) and Victor Bezerra (Leg Injury) are not able to play.

💭 Prediction

It looks to us that Columbus Crew have it within them to have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

However, Chicago Fire will not find it easy to get shooting opportunities although we do think it’s probable that they will be seeing enough of the ball to score, too.

We’re tipping a fairly comfortable 3-1 victory for Columbus Crew at the end of the match.

Our expert partners are tipping over 1.5 goals for this match. Check out their VIP predictions here.
