We said: Columbus Crew 2-1 San Jose Earthquakes

Although Columbus Crew suffered a narrow loss to Inter Miami in their last league outing, the Crew still have a lot of quality to hurt the visitors, but given the visitors' need to turn their season around, they will be desperate for a favourable result; therefore, we predict a 2-1 win for the home team.
