FC Dallas vs Columbus Crew: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

FC Dallas vs Columbus Crew predicted formations

FC Dallas host Columbus Crew at Toyota Stadium on Wednesday, October 28 (8:30 PM ET / 7:30 PM CT / 5:30 PM PT).

FC Dallas have no fresh absences to contend with, and Toyota Stadium should see Petar Musa and Logan Farrington both involved after a season in which they’ve combined for 30 goals between them. Columbus Crew travel with a similarly clean bill of health, meaning Taha Habroune — the creative force behind 48 chances created this season — looks set to start alongside the in-form Brais Méndez.

FC Dallas sit third in the Western Conference and firmly in the playoff picture, with a +8 goal difference underlining a side built around Musa’s relentless scoring. Columbus Crew sit 11th in the East with work still to do, their -1 goal difference a reminder that chances go both ways for this group, and that uneven balance should tell at Toyota Stadium. Expect goals – Dallas have the firepower to get in front, Columbus have shown an ability to find the net even away from home, and Signal’s model sees this finishing 2-1 to the home side.
