How to Watch New York Red Bulls vs. Columbus Crew Live Stream
The New York Red Bulls will host the Columbus Crew in the Eastern Conference semifinals of the MLS Playoffs on Saturday, October 29 at 7:30 p.m. ET. The match will be televised on ESPN and ESPN Deportes, and it will be streamed live on ESPN+.
The Red Bulls earned a berth in the semifinals by defeating the Philadelphia Union 1-0 in the first round of the playoffs. The Crew advanced by defeating the New England Revolution 2-1.
The Red Bulls and Crew have met twice this season, with each team winning once. The Red Bulls won 2-0 at home in May, while the Crew won 2-1 in Columbus in August.
Keys to the Matchup
The key to the matchup will be the battle in midfield. Both teams have talented midfielders who can create chances and score goals. The Red Bulls will look to Felipe Martins and Daniel Royer to provide creativity, while the Crew will rely on Lucas Zelarayán and Darlington Nagbe.
Another key factor will be the Red Bulls' home-field advantage. The Red Bulls have a strong record at home this season, and they will be looking to use that to their advantage in the playoffs.
Prediction
The Red Bulls and Crew are two evenly matched teams, and this should be a close match. However, the Red Bulls' home-field advantage could be the difference, and I predict they will win 2-1.
