Cincinnati vs Columbus Crew Preview
FC Cincinnati and Columbus Crew face each other in the Ohio derby in a fixture that often produces plenty of entertainment. Cincinnati have struggled to find consistency, and their defensive record is particularly worrying after conceding 2.00 goals per home game in the supplied statistics. The hosts will need a more organised performance if they are to overcome their rivals and give their supporters a much-needed boost.
Columbus Crew also have plenty to prove, but their recent form has been more encouraging, with several victories in their last ten matches. The visitors have shown greater attacking efficiency, although their away performances have been less convincing than their displays at home. Wessam Abou Ali is unavailable for Sunday's clash and Diego Rossi as questionable, potentially affecting their attacking options. Cincinnati, meanwhile, are listed without Kevin Denkey through suspension, alongside several other absentees.
With 76% of the previous 21 H2H meetings featuring over 2.5 goals, this betting option should be considered, alongside Both Teams to Score, and Over 2.5 goals.
This MLS match will be played on Sunday, 18 October 2026 at 22:00.
