Further markets to consider

Beyond the main tip at the top of the page, two more selections stand out for this match-up:

👉 Prediction: Double Chance - X2

Montreal Impact has proven to be a tough opponent for many sides, even in away games. As they head to to face Columbus Crew, our recommended bet is Montreal Impact to win or draw in the Double Chance market.

While Montreal Impact securing all three points wouldn’t be shocking given their recent form, taking at least a draw seems like a very realistic outcome.

👉 Prediction: Over 2.5

With Columbus Crew and Montreal Impact both looking to attack, this match is likely to see plenty of goal-scoring opportunities.

That’s why we’re backing over 2.5 goals, a bet that wins if at least three goals are scored.
