Columbus Crew arrive in superb Leagues Cup form, back-to-back home wins against Pachuca (2-1) and Atlas (3-1). UNAM Pumas, by contrast, have lost both their Leagues Cup outings - 0-2 to FC Cincinnati and 0-3 to Charlotte - and have scored in only 2 of their last 5 matches. The model reads this as a heavy mismatch. The two inputs that drive the gap: Columbus have scored in all 5 recent games (10 goals, 2.0 per game) while Pumas have managed just 7 goals across 5 outings with 3 defeats. The model puts Columbus win probability at 92%, well above the implied 64% in the 1.57 market price. At 1.57 the Crew home win carries clear positive value. The riskier angle is Over 2.5 goals at 1.55-1.57, supported by Columbus going over in all 5 recent matches and Pumas conceding in all 5 of theirs.
