Columbus Crew at Real Salt Lake 7/3/19 - MLS Picks & Predictions

Real Salt Lake pulled a nice win at home in their last match and look somewhat stable lately. They will now have a chance to build an undefeated streak when they will host Columbus Crew on Wednesday. Columbus have been in really bad shape over the past couple of months and are drifting in the standings.

Real Salt Lake (7-8-2) scored two quick goals in their home match against Sporting KC and proceeded to preserve their lead for the final 0-2. They have not grabbed four points in their last two matches, after three consecutive losses. Real Salt Lake are sitting 8th in the Western Conference with 23 points, one behind the playoffs. They have been really good at home so far (5-2-0), winning four of their last five. Columbus Crew (5-11-2) met another loss at home in their last match, falling by 2-0 against Orlando. That was their third consecutive home loss, also dropping out of the US Open Cup in the process. They are now sitting at the 11th spot of the Eastern Conference with 17 points, already six behind the playoffs. To make matters worse, they have lost six of their seven away matches so far, failing to score in four of their last six.

Columbus have been great in this match-up with just one loss in the last nine years (5-1-3) and each of the last five matches between the two had goals from both sides. Real Salt Lake have been great as hosts against Columbus and have lost just once here since 2006 (5-1-3). I will go with the lesser of two evils in this match.
