Toronto FC vs Columbus Crew Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Columbus Crew to Win
- Odds: +160 (Tonybet)
After four MLS matches, Columbus have only two points, but their expected points total sits at 6.3. They’ve generated 6.1 xG and allowed 4.7 xGA, while Toronto have produced only 3.7 xG and conceded 7.2 xGA, with just 3.2 expected points.
The Reds‘ 1-1 draw with the New York Red Bulls was not especially convincing as they lost the xG battle 1.28 to 1.90. The H2H stats are also worth noting, as the Columbus Crew have won seven of their last 10 encounters. As such, the visitors look well-positioned to get the win in this matchup.
Toronto FC vs Columbus Crew Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Wessam Abou Ali to Score
- Odds: +150 (Tonybet)
Abou Ali has two goals in MLS play and remains the club’s top finisher. He leads the Crew in total xG with 3.0 and xG per 90 minutes with 0.77.
Toronto have been giving up too much territory and too many dangerous moments in central areas. They’ve also conceded eight goals in their last five matches. That profile suits Abou Ali because he is a penalty-box striker who benefits when Columbus pin teams back. Hence, him to score looks like a solid choice for this game.
Toronto FC vs Columbus Crew Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Columbus Crew to Win + Wessam Abou Ali to Score + BTTS
Columbus Crew to Win: The Columbus Crew have dominated the recent H2H, with seven victories in the last 10 meetings. They’re also the better side in chance creation and should be able to convert that edge into a result.
Wessam Abou Ali to Score: Abou Ali has already found the net twice this season. With the Columbus Crew likely to have the territorial advantage, the 27-year-old is the main candidate to score.
BTTS: Their last two H2Hs have produced an exchange of goals. Neither squad show reliable play in defence, making both teams to score a reasonable pick.
Toronto FC vs Columbus Crew Team News
Toronto FC Team News
Toronto were seconds away from winning their home opener against the New York Red Bulls before conceding a 98th-minute equaliser. Tactically, they stay organised for stretches and carry a clear counterattacking threat.
The issue arises when matches become one-sided, as the Reds struggle to control second balls, relieve pressure, and protect the box for sustained periods.

Richie Laryea has been one of the club’s key players this season. He made the MLS Team of the Matchday after the Cincinnati win, posting game-highs in sprints and fouls won. Daniel Sallói is also trending after scoring in the 1-1 draw with the New York Red Bulls.
Theo Corbeanu, Henry Wingo, Nicksoen Gomis, and Jules-Anthony Vilsaint are sidelined for this clash.
Columbus Crew Team News
Columbus lost 0-1 at home to Nashville in the last round. That defeat extended their winless start and sharpened the pressure, especially because Nashville scored the winner in stoppage time. The Crew have become a team that tend to control matches, but fail either in their final-third execution or when protecting critical moments.
Diego Rossi is still their main attacking force, even though his last two outings were quieter, and he failed to put a shot on target in that span. Max Arfsten has delivered 11 crosses against Sporting Kansas City. Sean Zawadzki and Taha Habroune also remain important to the team’s territorial control.
The only confirmed absentee is Mohamed Farsi, who is listed as out with a sports hernia.
