Yankee Stadium will be the venue for Saturday’s MLS clash between New York City FC and Columbus Crew, two teams at the top of the table. The Blue Pigeons are aiming for their sixth straight league victory, but they face a tough challenge at home. Midfielder James Sands will miss the game due to a one-game suspension for accumulated yellow cards, and Austria international Hannes Wolf is out with an injury.
Columbus Crew, currently on a three-game winning streak in Major League Soccer, will find it challenging to secure a victory against New York City on the road. Considering all factors, a draw seems to be a likely outcome. It’s worth mentioning that the last encounter between these two teams in MLS ended in a draw. For the visitors, Cucho Hernandez and Evan Bush are expected to be the only absentees.
Prediction: 1-1.
