Columbus Crew vs Nashville SC Predictions

• Columbus have scored in 100% of their home games so far this season
•  Nashville have seen both teams score in eight of their last nine games
• The Crew have scored at least twice in each of their last four at home

Columbus on the charge in the east

The hosts head into this clash having taken 10 points from their last four games, a run which has pushed them to sixth in MLS. Columbus are on course for a spot in the playoffs after that fine run, while their home form makes them a tough side to visit.

The Crew have won their last three at home, scoring at least twice in each of their last four at home. Columbus have racked up 11 goals during that run, so they should expect another good night in front of goal in this one. However, Nashville are flying high in the west and could pose a real threat to the hosts’ postseason chances.

Nashville’s open run to continue

The visitors are second in the west, although they’re some way short of Cincinnati coming into this game. Despite that, the Tennessee side are looking good for the playoffs, while second place would represent a franchise-record finish.

However, Nashville are looking a little too open of late and that could be their downfall in the postseason. The visitors have seen both teams score in eight of their last nine matches, while they’re without a clean sheet in MLS since early May.

Nashville’s poor run should continue with the Crew scoring in 100% of their home games this season. When the pair met in late May of this year, Nashville ran out 3-1 winners. Home advantage should swing it for the in-form hosts, so I’m going with both teams to score and a 2-1 home win.
