Minnesota United met a tough loss in their last match and it is more than clear that they are not doing so well lately. They will now have a chance to return to winning ways on Saturday, when they will host Columbus Crew. Columbus are also coming off a loss and have been in worse shape lately.

Minnesota United (4-4-3) are coming into this match after a mediocre performance on the road against Chicago where they fell by 0-2. They have now won just one of their last six matches (1-2-3), scoring just twice in their last four. Minnesota United are now sitting at the 6th spot of the Western Conference with 15 points, two behind Dallas. Moreover, they have yet to lose at home (1-0-3).
Columbus Crew (5-7-1) were bad in their home match against LAFC but conceded two late goals for the final 3-0. They had won in their previous match, which gave them some confidence after five consecutive defeats. But Columbus have now lost six of their last seven and are sitting at the 7th spot of the Eastern Conference with 16 points. They have been rather bad on the road (1-4-0) so far.

Columbus Crew have won both previous matches against Minnesota United, winning by 1-0 in their only previous match here. I will have to go with the home team to cover the spread here, no matter how much Columbus will fight. They are really weak on the road.
