Searching for three straight Leagues Cup wins, the Columbus Crew will host U.N.A.M. on Tuesday evening. While the hosts have thrived at the start of the competition, winning two out of two, the visitors have come up short, first losing to Charlotte, who ran riot, before tasting defeat against Cincinnati. In that second game, the Liga MX team did do a little better, but they still struggled at both ends of the field, which does not bode well ahead of a trip to ScottsMiracle-Gro Field.
If we look at the early lines, we can see that the Crew are the team favored by the early market, but we can quite easily argue that the hosts should be even stronger in the betting. The way in which the team from Ohio has scored goals point towards them really hurting a visiting team that has looked massively out of shape at the back.

Our Columbus Crew vs Pumas UNAM Prediction
If we look at the efforts of both teams in the competition so far, it's not at all easy to make a case for the visitors, who've struggled to keep things tight at the back, conceding multiple goals against both Charlotte and Cincinnati. They conceded lots of chances in those games, which should have the hosts licking their lips. Given that the Crew arrive in fine offensive form, scoring goals and creating plenty in general, they should fancy themselves to get the job done. It's worth betting that they outscore their opponents all the time odds of -125 are on offer. The home win, all things considered, could easily be priced at -149. Take the early value.
