Best Tip: Both teams to score

Columbus may feel optimistic ahead of this game and, funnily enough, so might Charlotte. The bookmakers see them as well matched and so do we – there's no clear winner in this clash. So our tip looks to the both teams to score market, where there's far more reason to be certain. The form stats, past head-to-head (H2H) records and bookmakers odds below are all pointing towards both sides scoring, and that's what we'd recommend too.
