ℹ️ Team News: Columbus Crew

Kevin Molino (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Lucas Zelarayán (Unknown Injury) won’t be playing for Columbus Crew manager Caleb Porter.

We think that The Crew should kick off with a 4-3-3 system, beginning the first half with Eloy Room, Steven Moreira, Josh Williams, Milos Degenek, Jalil Anibaba, James Igbekeme, Darlington Nagbe, Aidan Morris, Miguel Berry, Erik Hurtado and Derrick Etienne.

ℹ️ Team News: Charlotte FC

Charlotte FC manager Christian Lattanzio has to currently contend with reduced team options. Christian Fuchs (Hamstring Injury), Vinicius Mello (Foot Injury), Adam Armour (Meniscal Injury) and Chris Hegardt (Knee Injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We believe Charlotte FC appear most likely to utilise a 4-1-4-1 formation, giving starts to Kristijan Kahlina, Harrison Afful, Guzman Corujo, Anton Walkes, Joseph Mora, Brandt Bronico, Orrin McKinze Gaines, C. Jonatan Ortiz, Ben Bender, Andre Shinyashiki and Daniel Rios.

✨ Prediction

We feel that Columbus Crew are likely to see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

In contrast, Charlotte FC may well struggle to get shooting opportunities but we do fancy them getting the chances to score, too.

We’re predicting a decent 3-1 winning score for Columbus Crew at full-time.
