Our prediction is: Both teams don't score
It's hard to overlook the part that defence will play in this match. The capable defending of both sides will be tough for opposing offences, which is why it could be a low-scoring affair.
That overwhelming defence is also a great reason to go 'no' on the Both teams to score market.
Our prediction is: over 9.5 corners
Our top tip for Sporting KC vs Columbus Crew is to take advantage of the corners market, particularly taking the over on 9.5 corners. There is good value to be had in that bet, which is priced at 1.87.
Both teams need to combine for at least 10 corners to win the bet, which may seem like a lot. But based on their statistical profile for this season, we expect them to easily clear that mark in their upcoming matchup.
