Draw
Our first DC United vs Columbus Crew prediction is a bore draw between the two teams. Yes, Columbus Crew have a solid head-to-head advantage over DC United but coach Wayne Rooney’s boys aren’t to be underestimated. They managed to steal points away from Chicago Fire, Toronto, and Orlando City.
Surely, they’ll try to cause an upset on Sunday as well. Especially, when you consider the fact that DC United are performing well against this opponent at home. The last five games at Audi Field between the two teams ended with two DC United wins, two draws, and only one Columbus Crew win.
Over 2.5 Goals
Columbus Crew just can’t seem to stop scoring these days. They thrashed Atlanta United 6-1 on the 26th of March and immediately followed with a 4-0 magic over Real Salt Lake City. And let’s be honest, DC United’s form isn’t great.
The only thing keeping Wayne Rooney’s head above water is Christian Benteke. The former Liverpool and Crystal Palace star scored three goals for his club already. His sheer presence on the field on Sunday will be of huge help to our DC United vs Columbus Crew prediction.

DC United vs Columbus Crew Lineups & Team News
DC United
With one victory, two draws, and three losses, it’s fair to say DC United’s season isn’t going as planned. Coach Wayne Rooney was given the time to teach the players his ways as the 2022 MLS campaign also ended poorly but it doesn’t seem like they are grasping what he has in mind. It would take one hell of a performance from the players to put a dent in our DC United vs Columbus Crew predictions.
Predicted lineup – Miller (GK), Jeahze, Birnbaum, Williams, Ruan, Santos, Klich, Palsson, Durkin, Benteke & Fountas
Columbus Crew
The Black & Gold are eager to get the ball rolling on Sunday as they want to prove the 10 goals they scored in the last two games were no accident. The 6-1 victory over in-form Atlanta United and the 4-0 win against Real Salt Lake City forced us to make a DC United vs Columbus Crew prediction in favor of the visitors on Sunday.
Predicted lineup – Schulte (GK), Vallecilla, Degenek, Moreira, Sands, Morris, Nagbe, Farsi, Zelarayan, Matan & Ramirez

Player to Watch: Mateusz Klich
The former Leeds United star has been ever-present for DC United recently. He’s the best creator at coach Wayne Rooney’s disposal as he provided two cut-throat assists already. However, he’s no one-trick pony as he also opened his score tab for his club this season with a lovely goal a couple of weeks ago. We expect him to be on top of his game for Sunday’s showdown.
