Columbus Crew arrive in strong attacking form, winning their Leagues Cup opener 3-1 against Atlas just three days ago. Across their last five matches they have scored in all 5 and conceded in all 5, with zero clean sheets. Pachuca are struggling for consistency, losing three of their last five, but they too have scored in 4 of 5 and conceded in 4 of 5 recent outings.
The numbers are hard to ignore. Columbus have gone over 2.5 in 4 of their last 5 games; Pachuca match that same rate, also 4 of 5. BTTS has landed in 5 of 5 Columbus games and 3 of 5 for Pachuca. Combined, these two sides have produced 16 goals in their last 5 fixtures each. Over 2.5 is priced at 1.60-1.62 across books.
The model reads this as a high-scoring affair. Both squads are leaking and creating freely. Over 2.5 at 1.62 (bet365) is the play. Confidence is solid given the volume of evidence on both sides.
