Latest football match prediction: Columbus Crew vs Vancouver
A two-week break might be just what Wilfried Nancy needs to give his Columbus team a rest and refocus for the second half of the season.
Prior to this match, Crew were on a six-game winless streak in MLS, leaving them just three points ahead of the Eastern Conference playoff spots.
Despite their recent poor form, they still have a positive point: in their last six games, Columbus have earned four points from being behind in the second half.
Crew are unbeaten in their last four home games in this league and have only lost one game at Lower.com Field since the start of the season (a 0-1 defeat against Inter Miami).
Columbus is also unbeaten in all four of its regular season games against Western Conference opponents, winning the last two 2-1 matches.
The only time Crew hosted Vancouver Whitecaps at home in the MLS, they secured a resounding 4-0 victory – which was also the opening game of the 2022 season for both teams.
Less than a week after their crushing 0-5 defeat to Cruz Azul in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, Vancouver quickly redeemed themselves with an impressive performance against Sounders at home.
Jesper Sorensen's team didn't manage a single shot against Cruz Azul, but against Seattle, they didn't allow their opponents a single shot on target.
The defeat against Cruz Azul was the team's only loss since the beginning of April. Whitecaps have also kept two consecutive clean sheets in MLS.
They are the only team still unbeaten away from home in MLS 2025, and have conceded a maximum of only one goal in six of those seven away games.
Of the 12 goals conceded so far in the league, only 4 have come from away games, including 2 in the most recent match at Real Salt Lake (a 3-2 win).
The last time they won away against an Eastern Conference opponent in MLS was in September 2023, when they came from behind to beat Toronto 2-1.
