THE PREDICTION
MAPFRE Stadium has become a fortress of late for Columbus Crew, who have won ten and drawn two of their last 12 home league games. In addition, they have kept clean sheets in four of their five at home in the MLS, so expect a comfortable win to nil against poor travellers Portland Timbers.
