💡 Prediction

Our thinking is that Columbus Crew can and should convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

In contrast, Nashville will be up against it finding the net themselves - but, we do see them being dangerous at times.

We can therefore see a comfortable 3-1 winning score for Columbus Crew at full-time.
