Columbus Crew have been among the best teams in the USA in recent seasons, winning the Leagues Cup (2024) and the MLS Cup (2023). Unfortunately, they were eliminated in the 1/8 Finals of the MLS Cup last year. This year, the Crew have had their ups and downs but are still in a good position to secure the 1/8 Finals. Right now, they are in fourth place in the Eastern Conference with 34 points - six points away from dropping out of the top seven spots.

Philadelphia Union came to this season after a terrible one last year, finishing 12th in the East, not even reaching the 1/16 finals. But this year, the Union are playing a fantastic season and are looking better and better as time passes. Now, they are on a 13-game unbeaten run across all competitions. They are sitting at the top of the Eastern Conference with 40 points in 19 rounds and have reached the Quarter Finals in the US Open Cup.

Columbus Crew vs Philadephia Union pick: Both teams to score

Columbus Crew have been inconsistent result-wise but have been absolutely great for this type of bet, as their last ten matches ended with both teams scoring. Also, at home, they have been very efficient, scoring at least a goal in six consecutive games. And in the last three, they scored two or more goals each time. Therefore, we are confident they will score in this match as well.

Philadelphia Union are in fantastic form, as they haven't lost in the last 13 games. In that 13-game stretch, they scored at least a goal on 12 occasions - 92%. Even in a match where they failed to score (against FC Dallas), they deserved to score at least once, considering they had 23 goal attempts, 68% ball attempts, and 1.61 xG!

In the last h2h game, we saw a 2:2 draw. Additionally, both teams scored in five of the previous six games - 83%. Considering all the above, we expect an exciting game with both teams scoring.
