Match analysis

A near-identical overall rating separates Club América and Columbus Crew, 5.6 to 5.5. Even so, Superior's model projects a 2-1 win for the hosts when the sides meet in the Leagues Cup on 27 August, with 2-2 next in line, on the strength of América's 2.4 goals-a-game average against Columbus Crew's 1.4.

The two sides rate almost the same overall

América and Columbus Crew are graded 5.6 and 5.5 overall, with matching attack and defence numbers on each side. That parity is why the projection favors goals over defense: América's attack rating of 5.6 lines up with a scoring average of 2.4 a game, well above Columbus Crew's 1.4.

América have taken results in their last five

América won 1-2 away at Club Juárez last time out, part of a run in which they have taken results in every one of their last five matches. Columbus Crew arrive off a 2-3 loss at Nashville SC, their attack failing to hold up against a stronger opponent.

Columbus Crew's away form has still produced goals

Columbus Crew scored twice at Nashville despite the loss, and a repeat of that would push this above the projected 2-1 total. With both sides rated almost identically overall, a slow start from América's attack is enough to tip this toward the 2-2 alternative instead.
