Match Preview
It has been a memorable 2025 MLS campaign for the Columbus Crew this term. The hosts this weekend could yet end the season at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, but their primary aim is likely to be to secure a playoff spot.
They have been reliable across all outings this season, winning half of their 22 matches and suffering just four defeats. A big trademark of their game has been their attacking quality, after netting an average of 1.68 per game. However, the only concern may be their inconsistent nature in home matches after playing out three draws already in 2025.

It already appears an outside chance that D.C. United will force their way into a playoff finish this season. The capital club have won just four of their 22 matches this season, and they have suffered eleven defeats. They also come into an important week having gone six matches across all competitions without a win.
United will at least take confidence from the fact that half of their victories this season have come on the road. But, their attacking players have typically failed to fire after netting an average of less than one a game. In fact, United have failed to score in almost half of their matches in the MLS this season.
Head-to-Head Record
The Columbus Crew are unbeaten in their last eight MLS matches against D.C. United. Over that period, the Crew have recorded five victories. The latest of those came in the form of a 2-1 success on the road in March 2025.
Columbus Crew vs. D.C. United Picks
D.C. United’s poor run of form and their attacking issues mean that it is very challenging to foresee an away victory this weekend. Therefore, the best value could be found in siding with the Crew covering the spread.
