Nashville vs Columbus Crew Live Stream, Predictions

📊 Form Guide

Nashville

WWDWWL

Nashville will be looking for an improved result here after a 2-1 Open Cup defeat last time out to Inter Miami.

The only name on the scoresheet from Nashville was Alex Muyl (66'). Franco Negri (57') and Nicolás Stefanelli (73') scored for Inter Miami.

Nashville have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, finding the back of the net in each and every one of their last 6 matches.

They have hit an aggregate of 11 during that period while also conceding a total of 5.

Columbus Crew

LWDWLL

After being beaten in their last game against Pittsburgh Riverhounds in Open Cup action, Columbus Crew will be hoping to turn things around here.

The stats tell the story, and Columbus Crew have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 9 goals in all. In defence, Columbus Crew could really do with shoring things up. Putting that to one side, time will tell whether that pattern will be maintained in this game.

🤜🤛 Head to head

The previous league encounter between these sides was MLS match day 7 on 02/04/2022 when it ended Columbus Crew 0-1 Nashville.

On that occasion, Columbus Crew had 67% possession and 19 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target.

At the other end, Nashville got 6 shots at goal with 3 on target. Alex Muyl (28') was the scorer.

The match was refereed by Rubiel Vazquez.

🗞️ Team News: Nashville

There’s just a single fitness concern for the Nashville manager Gary Smith to be concerned with from a near full-strength set of players. Nick DePuy (Achilles tendon surgery) is out of contention.

We are thinking that Nashville could go for a 4-1-3-2 formation for this game, handing starts to Joe Willis, Shaq Moore, Lukas MacNaughton, Jack Maher, Daniel Lovitz, Dax McCarty, Alex Muyl, Sean Davis, Anibal Godoy, Hany Mukhtar and Jacob Shaffelburg.

🗞️ Team News: Columbus Crew

Columbus Crew manager Wilfried Nancy has not got a full squad to pick from. Luis Díaz (Back Injury), Kevin Molino (Knee Surgery), Josh Williams (Ankle Injury) and Eloy Room (Knee Injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We are inclined to think that The Crew will likely begin the game with a 3-4-3 lineup by sending out Patrick Schulte, Steven Moreira, Philip Quinton, Gustavo Vallecilla, Mohamed Farsi, Aidan Morris, Darlington Nagbe, Malte Amundsen, Lucas Zelarrayan, Cucho Hernández and Jacen Russell-Rowe.

💭 Prediction

We’ve got the feeling that Columbus Crew may well find it hard to score goals against this Nashville side who we think will score & stay on top.

We therefore see a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 win for Nashville at the end of the match.

Should be interesting.
