Montreal Impact v Columbus Crew : Major League Soccer match betting preview, prediction and odds

Thu 15th May, 00:30 BST, Stade Saputo, Montreal

Laurent Courtois welcomes Wilfried Nancy to the Stade Saputo on Thursday morning, as their Montreal Impact and Columbus Crew teams meet in the Major League Soccer. The predictions shown are based on extensive statistical analysis of both teams, across seventeen major betting markets. The data and the odds change with each market, and head-to-head stats are included across the board.


Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

Neither Montreal or Columbus are in the sort of form that would leave us feeling confident in tipping a match winner, so instead we've gone for over 1.5 goals. The stats show that both have a track record in this market, both individually and when facing one another head-to-head. Our predictive algorithm suggests there's a 78% chance of two goals or more.
