New York City FC is coming into this match playing in great form in their recent matches as they have been turning things around. They have won their last 5 straight as well as 8 of their last 9 matches and they have scored at least 2 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches, scoring 5 goals in their last match alone. They are going up against a Columbus side that has also been in good form in their recent matches. They have won 3 of their last 4 matches, but they are coming off of a 3-0 loss to Pachuca in the Champions Cup Final and this is going to be their 1st match since that disappointment. Columbus has not played in 2 weeks, but mentally they are still going to struggle off of that loss in a competition that is always a priority for the MLS Cup Champions to win the next season. New York City has been in great form recently and they can take advantage of Columbus off of that disappointing result. New York City FC will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
