We said: Columbus Crew 2-0 Colorado Rapids

Although Columbus Crew have not been in the best form recently, they have a fantastic record in front of goal, and we expect them to record a comfortable victory against Colorado Rapids on Wednesday. Colorado have been on a four-game losing run, and their only two wins this season have been against struggling sides, the most recent of which coming at the beginning of May.
