Columbus Crew desperately need points on Thursday, Oct 29 at 1:30 AM in the MLS. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

FC Dallas come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Columbus Crew travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, FC Dallas face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Columbus Crew have won 4 of 10 encounters, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives FC Dallas a slight edge, but Columbus Crew are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
