Nashville
Columbus Crew and Nashville go head to head at MAPFRE Stadium in what is expected to be a close encounter. Caleb Porter’s troops aim to build on a 2-1 win over New York City, which saw them put an end to their four-game winless run in the Major League Soccer. Columbus Crew are undefeated at home ground in the 2021 season, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Nashville. All Derrick Etienne, Liam Fraser, Kevin Molino, Eloy Room, and Gyasi Zardes are on international duty, while the likes of Morris, Valenzuela, and Williams are out of contention with injuries.
Nashville, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 5-1 win over Chicago Fire. Given the number of absentees in the home team, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the visitors. The likes of Alistair Johnston, Anibal Godoy, and Walker Zimmerman participate at the 2021 Gold Cup, speaking of the away team.
