🗞️ Team News: Columbus Crew

There aren’t many selection issues, with just a single fitness concern for the Columbus Crew manager Caleb Porter to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Vito Wormgoor (Ankle Surgery) misses out.

🗞️ Team News: Minnesota United

Minnesota Utd manager Adrian Heath has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Luis Amarilla (Ankle Injury), Ike Opara (Unknown Injury), Tyler Miller (Hip Injury), Ethan Finlay (Knee Injury) and Osvaldo Alonso (Muscle Injury) can’t be considered.

💭 Prediction

We’re of the view that Minnesota United will likely create enough chances to breach the defence of this Columbus Crew lineup, however that realistically won’t be as many as they’ll concede.

Our selection here is for both teams to score in a 2-1 winning score for Columbus Crew after the 90. Should be a good one.
