Toronto FC at Columbus Crew 6/2/18 - MLS Picks & Predictions

After two consecutive matches on the road, Columbus Crew will now return home, where they will play host to a struggling Toronto FC side on Saturday. Toronto FC are also coming off a frustrating result and have been really inconsistent throughout the whole season and even more so lately.

Columbus Crew (7-3-4) are coming into this match after a really upsetting and goal-less draw on the road against Western Conference leaders Sporting Kansas City. They extended their undefeated streak to seven matches and have kept clean sheets in each of their last five. They are now sitting at the 2nd spot of the Eastern Conference with 25 points, one point behind Atlanta United and featuring the best defense in the MLS with just 10 conceded goals. Toronto FC (3-7-1) were also engaged in a really tough result last week, as they fell by 1-0 at home against FC Dallas. Their opponents took the lead very early in the match (11th minute), while Toronto had a chance to pull even but missed from the penalty spot. They are now sitting at the 9th spot of the Eastern Conference with 10 points, having scored just 14 goals so far, while conceding 20 in the process. Moreover, they have been pathetic on the road so far, as they have lost all four matches and have conceded multiple goals in their last three.
