Columbus Crew beat Colorado Rapids 3-0 in MLS, a result built on clinical finishing rather than control. The hosts had just 27% of the ball but scored three times, while Colorado's 73% share came with no reward.

◆ CheckLive verdict
Clear favorite — Columbus Crew
Five straight defeats and 13 goals conceded make Columbus an unlikely favorite, yet Colorado's form edge does not sway CheckLive's read. The hosts still hold a narrow edge — a 63% lean, not commanding — with 3-2 the projected result.

Who will win between Columbus Crew and Colorado Rapids?
CheckLive's pick is a Columbus Crew home win, predicted 3-2 against Colorado Rapids. The home edge is real but far from overwhelming, and a five-match losing streak keeps this outcome risky.
Is Columbus Crew still favored given their run?
Colorado Rapids own the sharper form — four wins from five in MLS, the sole defeat at San Diego FC. Still, CheckLive's data keeps Columbus Crew narrowly ahead overall, which is why the hosts are the favorite.
Will both teams score in the match?
Yes — a 3-2 projection puts goals at both ends, and Columbus Crew have conceded in every match of their five-game skid. Colorado Rapids have kept four clean sheets in five, yet both H2H meetings — 3-2 and 1-1 — saw BTTS land.
