Crew Host Toronto in High Scoring Clash

Columbus Crew have seen three or more goals in twenty one of their thirty league games so far. Toronto FC match that pattern with twenty of their own games crossing the line. Both teams also feature in games where each side finds the net quite often. Columbus score at a rate of two point two goals per game while Toronto average one point six. Their recent form shows Columbus with four wins in five and Toronto with two wins in five. Head to head meetings have produced a mix but the season trends point toward an open contest at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field. The slight edge for the hosts could lead to Columbus pushing forward and creating chances against a Toronto side that concedes one point eight goals a game on average.
