An exciting MLS showdown is on the cards as New York Red Bulls welcome Columbus Crew. The Red Bulls head into the match boosted by a convincing 3-1 victory over Chicago Fire and will be pleased to have no fresh injury concerns. Despite inconsistent recent form, New York matches have been full of action, averaging a remarkable 4.60 total goals per game over the last ten outings. Both teams have scored in 80% of those matches, while the Red Bulls are still searching for their first clean sheet in that span. At home, they average 2.40 goals scored per match, suggesting another attack-minded display.
Columbus Crew, meanwhile, are eager to bounce back from a disappointing 3-0 defeat to New York City. The visitors have still enjoyed a stronger overall run, collecting 1.60 points per game from their last ten matches and scoring 1.90 goals per contest on average. Injuries to Malte Amundsen and Jamal Thiare could hurt squad depth, but Columbus remain dangerous in attack, with BTTS landing in 70% of their recent fixtures. History also points toward goals, as 68% of previous meetings saw both teams score.
As both sides consistently produce open matches, we believe that there is big value in betting on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals (recent form and H2H stats strongly support goals).
This MLS match will be played on Thursday 14 May 2026 at 00:30.
