Match analysis
Columbus Crew have lost five straight, conceding 13 goals across that run, and that leaky record sits behind Superior's Over 1.5 pick for DC United vs Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer on 9 September, priced at 1.22 and rated 60 percent. DC United's own defence has not been much steadier, shipping nine goals in five matches of its own.
Columbus have conceded 13 goals across a five-match losing streak
That run includes a 1-3 defeat at New England their last time out, and DC United's defence has also shipped nine in five, including a 3-1 loss at Charlotte. Both attacks have struggled, DC United averaging 0.8 goals a game and Columbus 1.0, but the two defences combined are leaky enough to get this line home even without a big scoreline.
DC United have failed to score in two of their last five
The way this loses is a total of one goal or fewer, and DC United's attack has gone blank twice in five matches, including a scoreless draw with Los Angeles FC. If Columbus's defence has one good night to go with its bad run, or DC United's own finishing dries up again, a repeat of one of those low-scoring draws is the risk to this Over.
