D.C. United vs Columbus Prediction and Betting Tips | April 8th 2023

DC United v Columbus Crew
Both sides will be looking to win the game

D.C. United host Columbus at Audi Field in the MLS on Saturday, with both sides having contrasting starts to the season.

D.C. United are currently 13th in the Eastern Conference, two points off the top nine. Wayne Rooney's side have been in disappointing form of late and are winless in their last five league games, having lost three of them. They will hope to turn things around with a win against Columbus this weekend.

Columbus, on the other hand, are currently fourth in the Eastern Conference, four points off Cincinnati at the top of the table. Wilfried Nancy's side have been in strong form recently and will be going into the game off the back of a 4-0 win against Real Salt Lake last time out. They will look to carry that momentum into the game against D.C. United on Saturday.

Both sides will want to win the game for different reasons and that should make for an interesting matchup.
