Why it might land

  • FC Cincinnati take four losses and a single draw from their last five matches to sit in terrible shape.
  • Columbus Crew sit at a fair price of 2.75 to take three points away from home against struggling opponents.
Why it might not

Edge Analysis

In depth
The matchup

The market makes FC Cincinnati the side to beat here at 42%, but only just, so this reads as a close call rather than a mismatch. Our model lands on Columbus Crew, and it backs that with a 1 unit stake. Columbus Crew arrive with a decent recent win against a struggling home side. Cincinnati look lost after taking four losses and a draw from their last five matches.

Form and momentum

FC Cincinnati come in poor, winning 13% of 8 on record. 1 of their 3 home games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 1 loss in a row.

Columbus Crew come in patchy, winning 33% of 9 on record. 1 of their 4 away games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 2 wins in a row.

The price and the value

The prices turn into 42% for CIN, 24% for the draw and 34% for CLB once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. There is little between the two in the market, so the edge, if there is one, sits in the detail rather than the headline price. Our call sits at 2.75, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.

Where it could go wrong
  • Columbus Crew drop two matches in a row just before this fixture to show they are far from reliable.
  • FC Cincinnati play at home on their own turf where they will desperately fight to end their miserable run.
The bottom line

We back Columbus Crew for 1 unit. It settles itself when the game ends, win or lose, and it goes on the record either way. This is an opinion read off the form and the prices on this page, not advice, and never a promise of a result.
