Columbus Crew know what's at stake, and so do FC Cincinnati.
Columbus Crew welcome FC Cincinnati in the MLS. We've crunched the numbers. Here's our preview.
The lead strikers on both sides carry the narrative here. Columbus Crew will lean on whoever's hot in front of goal, while FC Cincinnati travel with the same brief: find a way past a back four that's been organised more often than not this season.
A razor-thin margin: Columbus Crew at 0%, but the draw sits at 0%. Covering two of the three results is the sensible approach when the margins are this fine.
The bookmakers have priced this match fairly. Our model doesn't see a big edge in the match result market.
FC Cincinnati are no pushovers away from home. W11 D2 L5 from 18 away trips, scoring 1.3 per game on the road. Columbus Crew (W10 D5 L3 at home) can't afford to take this lightly.
This doesn't look like a high-scoring one. Columbus Crew average 1.6 goals per game and FC Cincinnati manage 1.4. Combined that's just 3.0. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game.
