Columbus Crew arrive in decent form, posting 2W-2D-1L across their last five outings with 8 goals scored. Two absentees - Brais Mendez and Wessam Abou Ali - thin the attacking options slightly. Atlas are inconsistent: 2W-1D-2L in their last five, conceding 8 goals in that stretch and keeping just two clean sheets.
The key inputs: Columbus scored in all 5 of their last 5 games and BTTS landed in 4 of those 5. Atlas conceded in 3 of their last 5 and scored in 3 of 5. Combined, the two squads have produced 15 goals across 10 recent matches, and over 2.5 has triggered in 3 of Columbus's last 5. The bookmakers price BTTS YES at 1.53-1.57 across three books, implying roughly 64% probability - our model sits comfortably above that.
BTTS YES at 1.57 (bet365) is the call. Both defences have shown vulnerability and Columbus's attack has clicked in every recent outing. The price offers value.
