Portland Timbers at Columbus Crew 4/20/19 - MLS Picks & Predictions

Columbus Crew are enjoying a pretty successful season, with their only downside being their presence on the road. They will now return home where they will host the absolutely disappointing Portland Timbers on Saturday. Portland are coming here with just one point from six matches and everything that comes with that.

Columbus Crew (4-2-1) were actually pretty competitive in their away match against Montreal but eventually lost by a slim 0-1. Even so, Columbus Crew are really strong at home (3-0-1) and will now look to make use of that advantage. They are sitting at the 2nd spot of the Eastern Conference with 13 points, just one behind Conference leaders DC United. And two ahead of Montreal. Portland (0-5-1) have not played all that bad so far, but the harsh reality is that they are coming off five consecutive losses. And they have just one point after six matches in the new season. Nothing is lost yet, there is a long way to go and Portland will surely bounce back at some point. Speaking of points, they have just one of them so far.
