Why we picked this for Charlotte FC vs Columbus Crew

Over 3.5 goals is an analyst pick for Charlotte FC vs Columbus Crew (Major League Soccer): it goes against the recent numbers below, so it carries no confidence figure. In their last 5 matches, Charlotte FC's games produced 2.2 goals on average, 0 of them over 3.5. Columbus Crew's games averaged 3.2, with 2 of 5 over the line. The recent numbers point the other way: only 2 of the 10 recent games of these two teams went over 3.5. Recent results can mislead when the teams have been playing very different opposition (another league, much stronger or much weaker sides), and here the analyst expects this match to play differently.

History between the two sides fits the pick too: 3 of 5 recent meetings went over 3.5. Treat it as a judgement call rather than a pick backed by the numbers. The match ended 3-1, so Over 3.5 landed.
