Columbus Crew vs Philadelphia Union Prediction

Over2.5 goals
95% confidence

Why we picked this for Columbus Crew vs Philadelphia Union

Our pick for Columbus Crew vs Philadelphia Union in Major League Soccer is Over 2.5 goals, with 95% confidence. Recent form: 2 of Columbus Crew's last 5 games went over 2.5 goals (1.8 goals per game in total), against 2 of 5 for Philadelphia Union (2.8 per game). Form on its own doesn't settle this one: 4 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 1 of their last 3 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 95%, most of the recent evidence lands on this side of the line, which makes it one of our stronger calls. Final score: 1-0. The pick lost.
