Hyper2Play's own model, which weighs points per game, goal difference, recent form and home advantage, gives FC Dallas a 58% chance of winning. A draw is rated at 23% and an away win at 19%.

The pick is FC Dallas, with 2-1 the most likely score, reflecting their stronger league position and home advantage against a Columbus Crew side whose recent form suggests they can still find the net. The model's confidence is medium, and this is an estimate rather than a guarantee.
