Under 0.5 Columbus Crew Goals
The Crew couldn’t find Philadelphia Union’s net in either of the last five matches. They ended with two goalless draws, one impressive 3-0 Philadelphia Union victory, and two thrifty 1-0’s for the U’s.
Statistically speaking, Columbus Crew scored in only 30% of the last 10 matches against Philadelphia Union and there aren’t many compelling arguments we can make in favor of the visitors. Their attack was quite unconvincing during the last season as only 46 goals were scored in 34 games. In comparison, Toronto, who were semi-last, scored 49. Combine that with the fact that it’ll be an away game at Subaru Park where Philadelphia Union are quite convincing, and you get a Philadelphia Union vs Columbus Crew prediction entirely in favor of the home side.
1-0 to Philadelphia Union
The most common result in this rivalry is the 1-0 Philadelphia Union victory and we feel that this Philadelphia Union vs Columbus Crew prediction is your best bet this week. After all, the U’s have a convincing argument in their favor – they have the head-to-head advantage as well as home-field support. And that’s something you can’t put a price on.
Subaru Park is one of the most intimidating venues around and a fragile team like Columbus Crew will hardly thrive under the pressure. Especially, when you consider the fact that the visitors did quite poorly in the 2022 MLS campaign. Furthermore, coach Jim Curtin’s boys had by far the best defensive line last year. They barely conceded 26 goals in 34 games in the regular part of the season.
