Prediction

Minnesota United FC 1, Columbus Crew SC 0 (on PKs)

Moneyline (ML)

DRAW (+260) is the way to go. It’s a tremendous value, as this one won’t be decided in regulation. If the game goes extra time or to penalty kicks, the draw still pays based on the result after regulation. For my money, that’s the play. Minnesota United FC (+240) went unbeaten in three group-stage games but played to two draws. Columbus (+110) is heavily favored because it was the only club to win all three of its group matches.

However, Columbus GK Eloy Room missed the Atlanta United game July 21 due to a hamstring injury and is a question mark for Tuesday. He posted two clean sheets against FC Cincinnati and the New York Red Bulls in the group stages. In addition, M Youness Mokhtar is dealing with what is believed to be a groin or muscle injury. The Moroccan buried the lone goal in a 1-0 win over Atlanta, and his loss would also be difficult for the Crew.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+100) is even money, and the way to go. The Crew posted three clean sheets in group play, while Minnesota scored just four times while conceding three goals. This will be a hotly contested defensive battle.

Prediction

Columbus Crew SC 2, Atlanta United FC 0

Moneyline (ML)

Atlanta United? More like “Atlanta Disjointed” after this disappointing bubble performance. Atlanta United sits in the basement of Group E, failing to score a goal in its first two games, and is eliminated from Round of 16 contention as a result. Meanwhile, COLUMBUS (+175) has punched its ticket to the knockout stages, so it could elect to power things down a bit. Nagbe is unlikely to feature, as he is nicked and could use the rest. It remains to be seen if Columbus will go with its regular “crew” or if it will play several reserves. Either way, Atlanta is likely to be in a hurry to burst out of this bubble and offer very little in the way of resistance Tuesday, which is par for their course so far.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (-106) is the play. Atlanta has looked disinterested and has really been toothless on offense without star striker Martinez in tow. The Crew have bagged six goals and have yet to concede one, while Atlanta has yet to find the back of the net. This has the makings of a 1-0 or 2-0 match.

Columbus Crew vs. New York Red Bulls: MLS odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday at 7:40 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Columbus 1, New York Red Bulls 1

Moneyline (ML)

Columbus (+135) coasted to a 4-0 win against FC Cincinnati in the first match of the MLS is Back Tournament, but the Crew should get much more resistance from the Red Bulls (+185), who downed a strong Atlanta United club 1-0 in their tourney opener. This will be a hard-fought defensive battle, and a scoreless draw wouldn’t be terribly shocking. Either way, the best bet here is playing the DRAW (+270), with a return of nearly three times your stake.

A winning $10 DRAW wager on the Crew and Red Bulls would net a $27 profit if they finish in a tie.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (-106) is the play. While there was a total of five goals in a 3-2 Columbus win in the last head-to-head meeting July 28, 2019, these sides each posted clean sheets in their opener of this tournament. Expect fewer scoring opportunities on Thursday night. The Crew sailed through their first match, but will get a much sterner test from the Red Bulls.

FC Cincinnati vs. Columbus Crew: MLS odds, betting lines and picks

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at noon ET.

Prediction

Columbus 2, Cincinnati 0

Moneyline (ML)

COLUMBUS (-110) is the more well-rounded club, and it will show in this one. It also helps that the Crew are completely healthy, while Locadia is a big loss for Cincinnati (+290), and it need all hands on deck since the defense was absolutely atrocious through the first two matches. Cincinnati allowed five goals in two outings, tied for the worst defense in the Eastern Conference.

A winning $10 wager on Columbus (-110) nets a profit of $9.10. A $10 wager on Cincinnati (+290) would net a $29 profit if it were to pull off the upset.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (-121) is the way to be, as the Under is 3-1 through the first four matches of the MLS is Back Tournament, and it would be a perfect 4-0 if not for Orlando City SC’s game-winning tally at 90’+7 against Miami the other night. Cincinnati is rather punchless on offense, and you can expect some heavy legs and bit of a feeling out process for most of this battle.
