New York Red Bulls take on the visitors Columbus Crew at the Red Bull Arena in the 22nd week of Major League Soccer. The match will be played in Hamson on Sunday, July 29th.
The Metros have been in a great shape recently and now they are going to face their closest pursuer in the table. Even though Columbus Crew have been competing for the 3rd place in the table with New York Red Bulls the Metros have been thinking about the 1st and the 2nd places in the Eastern Conference. The team has 41 points to their credit after 20 matches. It`s worth noting that New York City have 43 points to their credit and they on the 2nd place, Atlanta United have 44 points to their credit and they are on the 1st place. So if New York Red Bulls win in the upcoming fixture they potentially could move to the 2nd or the 1st place. It`s worth noting that the Metros have been showing strong performances in front of their home crowd this season, they won 8 of 10 home fixtures. Also they have won 3 their last matches, against Kansas City (3-2), New England Revolution (2-0) and DC United (1-0).

Columbus Crew won their last match against Orlando City with a 3-2 score after two straight losses to LA Galaxy and New York City. Although that win told nothing about the current shape of the Black & Gold because Orlando City have been playing really bad this season. Columbus` gap from New York Red Bulls in the table is 8 points at the moment. They have been showing strong performances on their home field this season getting 24 points of 33 possible. However, Columbus Crew have been failing on the away side and lost 5 of 10 games. Their last away matches ended with an overall 0-8 score.
In their last 4 matches between them New York Red Bulls have beaten Columbus Crew 4 times (2-0, 3-2, 1-0, 2-1). Even though the Black & Gold beat Orlando City in their last match the Metros are a different level so Columbus are likely to lose in the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: New York Red Bulls to win.
