Columbus Crew Team Overview
Columbus Crew's 2-1 home win over Inter Miami 27 September 2026 came with a notable advantage in shots - 14 to 5. Possession in that MLS match went the other way, though, with the hosts holding 44% to their opponents' 56%. It was 1-1 at half-time before Columbus won it 2-1.
Columbus Crew have lost four of their last ten matches, with no draws in that run, and won just four times over the same period - a reflection of their inconsistent form in the second half of the season. On average, they have scored 1.4 goals per game and conceded just over 1.5 per game across those last ten matches. Away from home, Columbus tend to play pragmatically: the total corners market of under 9.5 came in six times from their last seven away MLS matches, which indirectly points to a tendency towards less open games on the road, even when they need to close the gap on the play-off places.
Match Results: Columbus Crew
Match Result Prediction
Orlando City have gone unbeaten at home in 8 of their last 9 MLS matches, a trend backed up by their home record this season: 7 wins and just 4 defeats in 13 matches. Columbus Crew, by contrast, have won only 2 of their 13 away matches and lost 8. These figures point to a strong likelihood that the hosts will at least avoid defeat, making the Orlando City - Double Chance 1X at 1.38* a reasonable selection.
Total Prediction
Orlando City have scored under 2.5 goals at home in 7 of their last 8 matches - a consistent trend. Their average home scoring rate this season is 1.77 goals per game, and 1.6 over their last 10 home matches. These figures confirm that the hosts rarely reach three goals at home. The Orlando City Team Total - Under 2.5 at 1.38* is therefore well supported.
Corners Prediction
Columbus Crew have taken more than 4.5 corners in 12 of their last 13 head-to-head meetings with Orlando City. This is a long and consistent trend, which makes Columbus Crew Team Total Corners - Over 4.5 at 1.82* a confident option to consider.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
In the last 5 head-to-head meetings between Orlando City and Columbus Crew, both teams have scored in every game. Orlando City average 1.78 goals scored and 2.37 conceded per match this season, while Columbus Crew average 1.44 scored and 1.59 conceded. These figures support a both-teams-to-score outcome. On that basis, the Both Teams to Score - Yes bet at 1.36* is backed by several factors.

*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.*
⭐ Editor's Prediction
The trend data highlights Orlando City's consistency at home when it comes to low-scoring matches: Total Goals - Under 3.5 has landed seven times in a row there, which is supported by the average attacking output of both sides and the nature of the late stage of the season, where the hosts need discipline at the back to get a result. The visitors are not in convincing form, and their attacking threat is limited by a typical away-game approach. Taking all factors into account, the editors' pick is Total Goals - Under 3.5.
