New York City vs Columbus Crew Predictions

This is a battle between two very evenly-matched teams, but we believe that New York City could just about claim victory here, as they are the home, and they have won the last four of their home games they won all four, including a 5-0 domination in their last. Right now, New York City will have a lot of confidence but it will not be a thrashing, as Columbus is a good team defensively.
