Columbus Crew vs New England Revolution: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Columbus Crew vs New England Revolution predicted formations

Columbus Crew host New England Revolution at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field on Saturday, August 29 (7:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM CT / 4:30 PM PT).

Columbus Crew have no fresh absences to report, with Dániel Gazdag, who has scored three goals and created eight chances this season, and Taha Habroune, who leads the group with thirty-four chances created, both central to how they build. Hugo Picard offers goal threat from deep too, having scored twice and created eleven chances of his own. New England Revolution report no absentees either, with Carles Gil the headline act on seven goals and fifty-six chances created, while Alhassan Yusuf and Dor Turgeman each arrive with five goals to their name this season.

Columbus Crew sit fifteenth in the East on twenty points from twenty-one games, while New England Revolution occupy fourth with thirty-four points and remain firmly inside the playoff picture. Yet the shape of this fixture points to goals at both ends: Columbus have kept finding the net through Gazdag and Picard even in a rough patch, and Carles Gil’s end product, seven goals and fifty-six chances created, travels well on the road. Expect New England to get on the scoresheet, but Columbus Crew’s platform at home should be enough to get them over the line 2-1.
