Columbus Crew vs Chicago Fire Prediction

Our pick for Columbus Crew vs Chicago Fire in Major League Soccer is Over 2.5 goals, with 70% confidence. Recent form: 3 of Columbus Crew's last 5 games went over 2.5 goals (3.2 goals per game in total), against 2 of 5 for Chicago Fire (2.8 per game). Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 5 of the 10 recent games went over 2.5, which is worth keeping in mind before backing 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 70%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 0-0. The pick lost.
