Houston Dynamo odds: +110 – 46.8%
Draw odds: +270 – 25.0%
Columbus Crew odds: +235 – 28.2%
The home-field advantage works wonders, as we have coach Ben Olsen’s Houston Dynamo as the expected winners, with a 46.8% win probability at +110. Meanwhile, in-form Columbus Crew barely have a 28.2% shot at the three points. However, we fancy our Over 3.5 Goals betting suggestion. The odds are standing at +220 and the probability is set at 31.25%.
Houston Dynamo vs Columbus Crew Lineups & Team News
Houston Dynamo
Despite scoring five against Giovani Savarese’s Portland Timbers, coach Olsen and his players aren’t favorites in our Houston Dynamo vs Columbus Crew predictions. This was the first time this season Houston scored so many. They’ll find it hard to penetrate the Crew’s robust backline.
Predicted lineup – Clark (GK), Dorsey, Sviatchenko, Michael, Escobar, Artur, Herrera, Carrasquilla, Bassi, Iturre & Baird
Columbus Crew
Columbus Crew average 2.0 goals per game this season. Wilfried Nancy’s boys scored 48 goals in 24 league appearances, and that’s something that definitely boosts our Houston Dynamo vs Columbus Crew predictions even more. Columbus Crew got kicked out of the Leagues Cup in the round-of-32 match against Minnesota United but Nancy’s players made an immediate comeback defeating top-of-the-table Cincinnati 3-0 at home.
Predicted lineup – Schulte (GK), Moreira, Zawadzki, Amundsen, Gressel, Nagbe, Morris, Yeboah, Matan, Ramirez & Hernandez
Player to Watch: Christian Ramirez
Goalscorer-in-chief Christian Ramirez is only two goals away from Lucas Zelarayan and his 10-goal tally. The latter opted to swap MLS for the Saudi Pro League, and this will surely give Christian Ramirez more room to operate up front.
Columbus Crew are known for preferring the attacking style to the defensive one, which is another reason we should keep an eye out for Christian Ramirez this week. With eight goals and three assists this season, Ramirez is proving to be one of coach Nancy’s key performers.
