On Saturday afternoon, week three of the new Major League Soccer season gets underway. This week the action will begin in Ohio, where the Columbus Crew and the Houston Dynamo are due to lock horns at Lower.com Field. 

There was midweek action for the Columbus Crew and that action didn't exactly yield anything to shout about, though Wilfried Nancy's men can be forgiven for struggling away against LAFC. Back in front of a home crowd, the hosts will absolutely be confident of picking up where they left off in Major League Soccer last weekend, when they got the better of the New England Revolution. That result followed their opening-weekend win against the Chicago Fire. Can they make it three wins from three in the league? 

For the Dynamo, the new season is yet to go well. They lost first time out, struggling at home to FC Dallas, before they struggled even more on the road in Miami, conceding four goals on their way to making it two defeats from two games. They'll need to improve at both ends of the field if they're to get a positive result here, that's for sure.

Columbus Crew - Houston Dynamo Key Points

  1. The Crew are yet to taste anything other than victory in Major League Soccer this season.
  2. The hosts come into this game having scored four goals in their first home MLS game of the campaign.
  3. In two MLS games this season, the visitors have conceded a worrying total of six goals.
  4. The Houston Dynamo are yet to points on the board during the 2025 MLS season.

Our Columbus Crew vs Houston Dynamo Prediction

To be honest, if the Crew hadn't lost to LAFC in the CONCACAF Champions Cup during the week, they'd be strong favorites here. I'm not going to overreact to that midweek defeat. In two MLS games this season, Nancy's men have looked strong, especially offensively, showing more than enough to suggest that they can overpower a weak visiting team. Our Columbus Crew vs Houston Dynamo Pick: Columbus Crew to Win.
