Our prediction and why
We take Over 0.5 goals. Our rule for this market needs one team to have scored two or more in each of its last five games, and Columbus have done that. Every one of both teams' last five games had at least one goal.
We do not back Columbus to win, because they have too few recent visits to Dallas for our venue rule.
