The Both Teams to Score Odds Catch the Eye

Columbus and Houston both have the players to score and it’s for that reason that we’re backing the BTTS Yes option. Odds of 1.67 look really appealing when it comes to this outcome.

1-1 Draw in Pair’s Last Encounter

Columbus Crew won their previous game 1-0. This away victory at Gillette Stadium against New England Revolution was their second on the spin. The Ohio side had three shots on target and enjoyed 57% possession, with an early second half strike from Jacen Russell-Rowe proving the difference.

Houston Dynamo have suffered back-to-back defeats, recently being beaten at home by Inter Miami 4-1 at Shell Energy Stadium. Ben Olsen's team managed two shots on goal and had 46% possession, with Nicolas Lodeiro finding the net.

Lower.com Field played host to the last encounter between Houston and Columbus, with the former playing away. The clash ended in a 1-1 CONCACAF Champions Cup draw. In the past 5 H2H meetings, we have seen two Houston wins, one Columbus victory and two draws.
