Our prediction for this MLS match:
Columbus Crew will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Sporting Kansas City and New England Revolution when they face Nashville in a midweek clash. Columbus have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Nashville. The opposition back-line should have Cucho Hernandez at bay as the Colombia striker has already netted ten goals in the 2024 MLS campaign this term. Midfielder Jacen Russell-Rowe is on international duty, while goalkeeper Evan Bush remains in the recovery room.
The Coyotes, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Inter Miami, which is yet another reason why we are going to place our bets on the hosts. As always, a man to watch in the away team will be Hany Mukhtar, who scored from the penalty spot in the last league match, while both Jacob Sheffelburg and Shaq Moore are on international duty.
Highlighted Team (Columbus Crew):
Columbus Crew are an American soccer club based in Columbus, Ohio. The Black & Gold participate in the Eastern Conference and in 2008 they won both the conference and the MLS CUP final. Columbus Crew defeated New York Red Bulls in the MLS Cup final, with the likes of Moreno, Marshall and Hejduk scoring for the Black & Gold in the title game.
The club welcome their rivals at Mapfre Stadium, the venue which was opened on May, 15 1999. The current capacity of the stadium is 19.968 and it has to be noted that Mapfre Stadium is the first soccer-specific venue ever built for a MLS club.
A number of high-profile players were part of Columbus Crew in the past, but Guillermo Barros Schelotto is the most famous footballer that wore the black and yellow shirt. Schelotto played for Columbus Crew from 2007 to 2010 and during his spell with the Mapfre Stadium outfit the Black & Gold won the aforementioned MLS Cup.
