Chicago Fire vs Columbus Crew Prediction

Over2.5 goals
96% confidence

Why we picked this for Chicago Fire vs Columbus Crew

For this Major League Soccer fixture we go with Over 2.5 goals for Chicago Fire vs Columbus Crew, at 96% confidence. In their last 5 matches, Chicago Fire's games produced 2.6 goals on average, 4 of them over 2.5. Columbus Crew's games averaged 3.4, with 3 of 5 over the line. Current form is what points us towards Over 2.5.

The head-to-head points the other way: only 2 of their last 5 meetings finished over 2.5 goals. Older meetings say less about how these teams play now, so recent form counts for more in our numbers. At 96%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 1-1. The pick lost.
