ScottsMiracle-Gro Field will host a clash between two sides heading in opposite directions, with Columbus Crew desperate to stop their alarming slide and Colorado Rapids fighting to strengthen their playoff position. Columbus have lost four straight matches, including a 3-1 defeat to New England, leaving them at the bottom of the table. Their home games have been particularly open, averaging 3.17 goals, while BTTS has landed in all of their last 10 home matches. Abou Ali, Bangoura, Camacho and Thiare are all sidelined.
Colorado, meanwhile, have won four of their last five MLS games and arrive with plenty of confidence. The Rapids have won 60% of their last 10 overall, conceding just 0.80 goals per game and keeping six clean sheets. However, their away record is a major concern, with three defeats from three and just 0.33 goals scored per game. Hamzat Ojediran is suspended, but the Rapids should still fancy their chances against a Columbus defence that has struggled badly.
Considering that Columbus matches average 3.40 goals across their last 10, we are tempted to place our bets on Over 2.5 goals, alongside Both Teams to Score and Over 3.5 goals.
This MLS match will be played on Sunday 6 September 2026 at 00:30.
