Two sides who find themselves seeking some stability, Chicago will host Columbus Crew in the early hours of Sunday.

Likewise, it should also be highlighted, along with seeing six of their last seven MLS matchups finish with under 3.5 goals, Sunday’s hosts have seen eight of their last nine home fixtures finish in an identical outcome.

As for the visitors, once again having to settle for a single point last weekend, Columbus have really become a stalemate specalist. In their 17 MLS matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, seven draws and five defeats, scoring 20 and conceding 18 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 22, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 10th in the Eastern Conference and three points adrift of breaking into the Final Series spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 0-0 draw against Philadelphia on home soil, Columbus have played out a stalemate in three of their last four domestic matchups. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, with Sunday’s guests seeing seven of their last eight contests finish with under 3.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
