Columbus Crew vs LAFC prediction
In the domestic league, both teams have a similar record and position in their respective conferences. In 23 games, the Crew have won 12, lost four and tied seven, while LAFC have played one game more, and sit second in the standings with 14 wins, five defeats and five games tied.
Both teams have been scoring freely throughout the tournament although Los Angeles have the better defensive figures. That indicates that we could be in for a cagey, close game. It’s a tough one to call but with Wilfried Nancy’s team having more experience of playing high pressure finals, and having a home crowd behind them, we think they might edge it on the night.
Prediction: Columbus Crew 2-1 LAFC.
