Competition: Leagues Cup
Market: Columbus Crew win
Odds: 4/9 @ 1xBet
Looking to secure consecutive Leagues Cup victories in the early hours of Wednesday, Columbus Crew will welcome Leon to Ohio.
Starting with the hosts, while Columbus might have got their Leagues Cup adventure underway with penalty shootout heartbreak away at Toluca on July 30th, Wilfried Nancy̢۪s men came roaring back last weekend. Eventually clinching a routine 3-1 victory against Peubla, the Crew will be desperately seeking a repeat performance here. Although the Ohio-based outfit might have collected consecutive wins across any competition on just a single occasion since the start of May, they will certainly be excited by their extended dominance on home soil. Including a 2-1 victory against DC United last month, Columbus have won five of their previous six showdowns in front of their own supporters Рa run that stems back to a 2-2 stalemate against Nashville on May 29th. It should also be highlighted, the former Montreal boss has seen his squad suffer just a single defeat in Ohio since the middle of April.
As for the visitors, last seen over the weekend putting in another downbeat display as they slumped to a 2-0 loss at the hands of New York City, Leon find themselves in the midst of what has been an extended wobble. Heading into their Leagues Cup adventure with a 4-1 drumming against domestic rivals Cruz Azul, Wednesday̢۪s guests should be bracing themselves for another stern examination here. Including a penalty shootout defeat against Montreal on July 30th, Eduardo Berizzo̢۪s men have lost their previous three appearances across all competitions. In fact, coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, Leon have lost eight of their last nine outings Рa rut that stems back to April 13th. It should also be highlighted, Berizzo̢۪s downbeat squad have lost all of their previous five consecutive showdowns outside of Guanajuato. Likewise, not mustering a single win on their travels since the middle of February, we are backing a home victory here.
Bet: Columbus Crew 4/9 to beat Leon in Wednesday’s Leagues Cup tie @ 1xBet
