New York RB v Columbus Crew : Major League Soccer match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 31st Aug, 00:30 BST, Red Bull Arena Salzburg, Wals-Siezenheim

Columbus Crew, led by manager Wilfried Nancy, visit Sandro Schwarz and his New York RB side at the Red Bull Arena Salzburg on Sunday morning in the Major League Soccer. The odds you see on the page are delivered straight from top bookmakers, while predictions are algorithmically generated from stats over a 20-game period. Particular attention is given to Major League Soccer match data, including head-to-head performance. Click the tabs below to explore it all.


Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

All things considered, our prediction for Sunday's game is over 2.5 goals, meaning that we expect NY Red Bulls and Columbus to score 3 goals or more combined during the traditional 90 minutes. 2 goals or fewer would mean the time doesn't win but, with stats below suggesting there will be plenty of firepower on the pitch, we think there's good reason to feel confident.
