San Diego vs Columbus Crew prediction: Another masterclass display by San Diego

Key Stats

  • San Diego won two of their three games this season.
  • The home team conceded only one goal in 270 minutes of MLS action.
  • Columbus Crew couldn’t score in three consecutive games in all tournaments against Western Conference teams.

Correct score prediction: San Diego 2-0 Columbus Crew

Seeing as the Crew play in the CONCACAF Champions League as well, we are confident in our San Diego vs Columbus Crew predictions. The new MLS team already recorded a 2-0 win this season in the match against 2024 MLS champions LA Galaxy.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Tight clash ahead

  • HOME: +150 – 38.5%
  • DRAW: +250 – 25.0%
  • AWAY: +175 – 36.5%

*These San Diego vs Columbus Crew odds are subject to change

Our recommended bookmakers claim San Diego are the expected winners at +150 (38.5% win probability) and we couldn’t agree more. We know coach Wilfried Nancy’s players will do their very best, but we doubt their efforts will amount to anything positive, despite the 36.5% win probability before the start of the game.

The Crew got thrashed at BMO Stadium by a superior Los Angeles side in the first CONCACAF Champions League match a few days ago. It seems that Russell-Rowe and his colleagues have difficulties facing Western Conference teams, which is a big plus in favor of our professional San Diego vs Columbus Crew predictions.

Predicted lineup: Schulte (GK), Cheberko, Herrera, Amundsen, Farsi, Nagbe, Zawadzki, Arfsten, Rossi, Russell-Rowe & Chambost
