Those hoping to enjoy a weekend packed full of Major League Soccer might be disappointed, but thankfully, there are plenty of games to get stuck into, just in a different competition. One of Saturday's Leagues Cup fixtures sees Pachuca travel to take on the Columbus Crew at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field, where the hosts were in hot form during the week. Can they continue to impress the home crowd?
On paper, this looks like a sizable opportunity for the Columbus Crew to continue marching forward, more so than the early odds suggest. Having shown lots of final-third quality to score three goals against Atlas during the first round of games, Laurent Courtois' men deserve to be priced shorter than +140. After all, they're up against a visiting team that has been struggling to score goals in recent weeks.

Our Columbus Crew vs CF Pachuca Prediction
There was plenty to like about the way in which the Columbus Crew went about their business in that opening Leagues Cup game against Atlas. They were strong going forward, creating plenty, while they didn't give a huge amount away at the back. The Mexican visitors were a little unlucky on the road in Cincinnati, but not for the first time in recent weeks, they showed a clear lack of end product, and that's a big problem ahead of a game against the Crew, who have been scoring lots of goals in recent weeks.
Thanks to their extra offensive quality, the hosts can get the job done here, and at odds of +140, they're worth betting on to do just that.
