There have been few more exciting teams in the MLS so far this season than FC Cincinnati. The Eastern Conference leaders will have the opportunity to extend their advantage at the summit on Saturday with a win against the Columbus Crew.
The hosts come into this weekend after picking up victories in each of their last four matches. Their most recent success was a 2-1 home victory against Chicago last weekend.
The Crew should be capable of throwing down an interesting challenge this weekend after winning ten of their 21 matches so far this season. Meanwhile, they have avoided defeat in their last four.

FC Cincinnati vs. Columbus Crew Picks
This will be an interesting challenge for the current Eastern Conference leaders on Saturday, especially considering that the Crew have suffered defeats in just 22% of their away matches this season.
However, Cincinnati’s excellent attacking quality could prove to be pivotal after netting 1.78 per 90 at home this term. Therefore, the prospect of a home victory is hard to overlook.
