Game Date | Wednesday, October 28, 2026 |
Game Time | 8:30 PM ET / 5:30 PM PT |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Frisco, TX, Toyota Stadium |
FC Dallas host Columbus Crew at Toyota Stadium on Wednesday night, and the FC Dallas vs Columbus Crew betting odds are expecting goals from two teams built to attack.
Eric Quill's side have already locked up a playoff berth and sit second in the Western Conference. For Dallas, this one is about momentum, not survival.
Columbus arrive 10th in the Eastern Conference, just behind New York Red Bulls. They're still scrapping for a playoff place, so the pressure sits squarely on the visitors.
The visitors have avoided defeat across their past six meetings with the hosts in all competitions. Dallas need to snap that streak on their own field.
FC Dallas vs Columbus Crew Recent Results
FC Dallas cruised past San Jose Earthquakes 3-0 at home last time out, which made it seven points from their last nine. Petar Musa did the damage late, and Santiago Moreno added the other goal. With the attack clicking and a shutout to go with it, Dallas look like a team peaking at the right time.
Columbus have won 5 of their last 6 games in Major League Soccer, and that run has dragged them back into the playoff picture. Their sour note came outside the league. St. Louis CITY SC beat them on penalties in the U.S. Open Cup after a scoreless 120 minutes. Gonzalo Tapia and Taha Habroune lead a dangerous front two.

FC Dallas vs Columbus Crew Prediction & Best Picks
Our Prediction
Our FC Dallas vs Columbus Crew prediction is a 2-2 tie. Dallas are the narrow favorite on the moneyline at +138 (Polymarket), but Columbus bring the hotter attack. Both back lines have a soft spot the other side is built to exploit. Dallas struggle to defend the wings, which is where Columbus love to attack, and the Crew are vulnerable to through balls, which is exactly how Dallas feed Petar Musa. Expect goals at both ends, with neither team able to pull clear.
Best Picks
Over 3.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The model projects about 3.5 goals in this one. The projected total sits right around 3.5, so this is close to a coin flip on paper. The implied probability on the price undersells it, though, with Columbus clearing 2.5 goals in 13 of their last 16 outings in Major League Soccer.
Yes in the Both Teams To Score market. Both sides carry a clear goal threat. This one stands out as our favorite among the picks for this matchup. Columbus have found the net at least twice in six straight Major League Soccer outings. Musa has been on target in three of his past four, so a response from the hosts looks just as plausible.
FC Dallas vs Columbus Crew Same Game Parlay
Our FC Dallas vs Columbus Crew same game parlay picks lean into the attacks: Columbus team goals, a Musa shot on target, Brais Méndez shots and Taha Habroune to score.
Columbus Over 1.5 in the Total Away Goals market. The Crew have scored 2+ goals in each of their last six outings in Major League Soccer, and they love attacking down the right.
Petar Musa Over 0.5 in the Player Shots On Target market. He's found the target in eight of his past ten Major League Soccer outings.
Brais Mendez Over 3.5 in the Player Shots market. Méndez has fired 4+ shots in four of his previous five Major League Soccer outings, and Columbus like to shoot from distance.
Taha Habroune in the Anytime Goalscorer market. He's found the net three times across his last four Major League Soccer outings and keeps his spot up front in the probable XI.

FC Dallas vs Columbus Crew Talking Points
Petar Musa is the headline act. His late goals against San Jose took him to 22 for the regular season, a new FC Dallas single-season record. Dallas like to play through balls and attack through the middle, and Columbus struggle to defend through-ball attacks, so expect Musa to get his looks. The other storyline is fatigue. This is Columbus's fourth game in an 11-day stretch under interim head coach Laurent Courtois, and a tired back line against an in-form striker is a messy combination for the visitors.
