Chicago Fire Columbus Crew betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This will probably be a very balanced match. The away team is one of the best offenses of the league and faces a weak defence, so naturally they have good chances of scoring. But their defence is one of the worst, so they are likely to suffer goals as well. Therefore, the most likely scenario is a match with many goals.
